How to Prepare Sweet Potato Falafel [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into cubes.
Coat the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place on a lined baking tray. Bake for 30 minutes, or until tender.
Once the sweet potato has cooled, place into a food processor along with the chickpeas, chickpea flour, spices, and chopped herbs.
Blend into a smooth mixture. Using your hands, form the mixture into around 20 balls, and place them onto the baking tray.
Brush the falafels with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
Remove the falafels from the oven once the edges are golden brown. Let them cool and enjoy!
