Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure there is space between the pieces to ensure even roasting. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the sweet potatoes for about 25-30 minutes
2. Cook the Kale and Onion:
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
- Add the finely chopped kale to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- Mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
- Add the sautéed kale and onions to the mashed sweet potatoes.
- Pour in the coconut milk and mix well.
- Add the garlic powder, fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir everything together until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into small balls approximately 1-2 inches in diameter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the balls are firm and slightly golden on the outside.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the sweet potato and kale balls warm. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or even as a main course alongside a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, ensure that the sweet potatoes are cooked thoroughly before mashing.
- Finely chop the kale to integrate it well into the mixture, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
- Consider sautéing the onions before adding them to the mixture for a richer, slightly caramelized taste.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference. Add more salt or pepper if needed, and experiment with additional herbs for a personalized touch.
- To keep the balls from sticking, lightly grease your hands or use a spoon when forming them.
- Bake the balls for a crispy exterior or pan-fry them for a bit more crunch and flavor.
- Serve with a dipping sauce such as a tangy yogurt dip or a spicy mayo for an extra kick.
