Caribbean Jerk Sweet Potato Falafel
[Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Falafel:

1. First, make the spice blend.
2. Combine all of the ingredients for the falafel, except the frying oil, in a food processor (a blender will work also if that's all you have) and pulse until combined into a nearly smooth mixture. It should be a thick dough.
3. In a large skillet, heat about 1-inch of oil over medium-low heat. You can use a deep-fryer for cooking them instead if you have one. Using a large scoop, form balls and drop them carefully into the pan.
4. Flatten them slightly with a spatula and cook them on each side for about 3 minutes until crispy.

To Serve:

1. If desired, warm the pitas in a foil packet in the oven or one by one on a lightly greased skillet.
2. Fill each pita with the falafel, your desired vegetables, and your favorite barbecue sauce, if desired.
