FAQ
Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Yes! Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake patties on a parchment-lined tray for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
Q: Can I use other vegetables instead of sweet potato?
A: Absolutely! Pumpkin, butternut squash, or even carrots can work well.
Q: How do I prevent patties from falling apart?
A: Make sure lentils are well-drained and mash sweet potato until smooth. Chilling patties for 15 minutes helps them hold together better.
