These Sweet Potato Quinoa Patties with Jalapeño Lime Ranch are delicious AND nutritious! Plus, I’ve added some optional substitutions to make the patties dairy free, gluten free, and vegan.


These patties are easy to put together, and have a slight crunch on the outside. I’m always a fan of some crunch! Of course you could top it with a different sauce, especially if you’re going vegan or dairy free, but I love this slightly spicy, creamy, tangy sauce to go with it. They’re versatile too- you could combine all the ingredients and store them in your fridge, then cook them when you need them. Like in your salads, for breakfast, or all on it’s own- they should be good in the fridge for about the next five days.


My favorite way to fix these up is with a fried egg, bacon, avocado, and sauce drizzled on top. I made this for my family a couple weeks ago, and in my husband’s words- ‘the only problem I had with them was that there wasn’t more!’. I’ll call that a win!


This makes a killer brunch recipe!

Tips
  • To cut down on time, you can get a bag of frozen sweet potatoes that you steam in the microwave, just cook them for a few extra minutes to make them easy to mash.
