Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Steam, boil, or roast the sweet potatoes until soft. Allow them to cool slightly before peeling and mashing them in a large bowl.
Step 2: Make the Patty Mixture
Finely chop the shallot, garlic, and parsley.
Add the chickpeas to the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes. Mash them lightly with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
Mix in the shallot, garlic, parsley, and spices (cumin, dried herbs, paprika, and chili flakes).
Stir in the nutritional yeast, soy sauce, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Shape and Bake the Patties
Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F).
Form the mixture into patties using your hands. You should get about 8-10 patties depending on their size.
Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Brush the patties with sauce (recipe below) and bake for another 15 minutes until golden and crisp.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
Blend the roasted cashews with tomato sauce (or ketchup), cane sugar, lemon juice, soy sauce, and dried garlic until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a little water if needed.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the patties hot, drizzled with the cashew-tomato sauce. Add a dollop of yogurt with pepper for an extra creamy touch if desired.

FAQs
1. Can I make the patties gluten-free?
Yes! All the ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten-free. Just ensure your soy sauce is labeled gluten-free.
2. Can I fry the patties instead of baking?
Absolutely. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the patties until golden brown on each side.
3. Can I make the sauce nut-free?
For a nut-free version, substitute the cashews with sunflower seeds or omit them entirely for a simpler tomato-based sauce.
