These vegan, gluten-free sweet potato & lentil cakes with lemony avocado sauce are protein-rich, savory, nutty, and incredibly hearty. \u00a0Steamed sweet potatoes, cooked red lentils, oats, kale, lemon juice, dried spices, fresh herbs, and seasonings are mixed together and formed into patties.

It seems I have a hankering for lentils lately. Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with a list of lentil facts like I did in this post<\/a>. This time, I think it's best that we go straight into the description, because it's a doozy in the most wonderful of ways.<\/p>\n

\"Sweet<\/p>\n

Versatile.<\/p>\n

Fresh.<\/p>\n

Flavor-packed.<\/p>\n

Light.<\/p>\n

Protein-rich.<\/p>\n

Savory.<\/p>\n

Slightly sweet.<\/p>\n

Nutty.<\/p>\n

And covered in a creamy, lemony avocado sauce.\u00a0In my books, this fact alone means end of story, game over, I'm making this recipe stat.<\/p>\n

To make these blazing-orange veggie cakes (that\u00a0color is so bright it almost hurts my eyes), you'll mix together steamed sweet potatoes, cooked red lentils, oats, kale, lemon juice, dried spices, fresh herbs, and just enough seasonings to make the flavors POP. Then, you'll form all that goodness into patties and bake them in the oven until their exteriors are crisp and just a touch golden. No need to add much more color to these bright beauties.<\/p>\n

\"Sweet<\/a>Then, the best part happens. The citrusy, creamy, garlicky deliciousness that is the Lemony Avocado Sauce. Really technical, snazzy name, huh? I thought of that one all on my own.<\/p>\n

The avocado sauce is drizzled (or dumped... go on, don't be shy) on top of the crispy cakes and\u00a0adds a splash\u00a0of bright freshness to every bite.<\/p>\n

The patties can be served on their own, over a bed of greens, in a pita pocket, or even on a hamburger bun. You can also freeze the cooked cakes and then thaw them as needed for quick, on-the-go meals. Each cake has 8 grams of protein, and I recommend enjoying two per serving, so\u00a0a whopping 16 grams of plant-based protein in the cakes alone. Not too shabby.<\/p>\n
