Looks funny – tastes amazing! Have you tried my Flax Encrusted Sweet Potato Balls? It’s one of my favorite recipes! The only change I made to the recipe today was using raw quinoa instead of ground flax. The quinoa is still crunchy after baking, but not too hard – it softens a lot after being cooked next to the moist sweet potato.
Ingredients (serves 1):
- 1/4 cup black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
- 1/2 large baked sweet potato, mashed
- 3 tablespoons salsa
- 1/4 cup of rinsed (raw) quinoa
- Ketchup for garnish
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350.
- Mash together salsa, sweet potato, and black beans.
- Form mix into five balls.
- Spread out ground flax in a low bowl and roll each ball in the quinoa, coating completely.
- Place balls on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, rotating once.
- Garnish with ketchup and enjoy!
