THREE INGREDIENT VEGGIE PATTIES

These little savoury cakes are so simple and versatile and can really amp-up an average sweet potato. Cumin is a powerful spice that is rich in antioxidants, aids digestion and is particularly high in iron, one teaspoon provides nearly 20% of your RDI.

For a convenient time-saver, make up a bunch of these patties and store in the fridge to enjoy throughout the week. Use as a delicious side dish, an on-the-go snack with hummus, a wholesome addition to salads, as a base in place of bread or even as a meat alternative burger.
