Description
Delicious sweet potato croquettes served with a creamy burrata dip and topped with a crunchy pistachio mix.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 8 ounces burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender. Let cool slightly, then peel and mash in a bowl.
- In the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes, add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and the egg. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each croquette in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- For the burrata dip, combine burrata cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- For the pistachio crunch, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped pistachios, honey, olive oil, and sea salt. Toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly golden.
- Serve the sweet potato croquettes warm with the burrata dip drizzled with pistachio crunch on top.
Notes
- For added flavor, try mixing in some chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley into the sweet potato mixture.
- You can also substitute the burrata with cream cheese or ricotta for a different dip texture.
