Sweet Potato Lentil Kebabs Sweet Potato Cakes

These Sweet Potato Lentil Kebabs are one of my favorite vegetarian kebabs that are not only so easy to make but absolutely yum!

What are Sweet Potato Lentil Kebabs:

They are kebabs/kababs made using 2 different lentils, sweet potatoes, Indian spices, and few other ingredients. This post was originally published in May 2015 and I’m just adding some new pictures today.

We made them for dinner a few days back and this time, I served them in a platter style along with chutney, yogurt dip, banana peppers, and some chopped onions. Since it was our dinner, I also added some flatbread squares (I just chopped a large flatbread into squares). They were such a super hit and the platter was gone in 10 minutes. Hence, I decided to share this idea with you’ll too.

Also, as many of you keep requesting for easy appetizer recipes for parties, I think these would be a perfect fit. Also, they can be made a day or two in advance and you can just saute them when needed to serve. Sweet Potato is one vegetable that is fairly new to my tastebuds but I can definitely say, it’s pretty versatile. It can not only be used in stir fry’s, saute but also as pie fillings, milkshakes, smoothies, and desserts. They are also extremely rich in sodium, vitamin a, and calcium. I’ve previously used them in a recipe for a smoothie but this time, I wanted to try something different and turned them into Sweet Potato and Lentil Kebabs. They are soft, delicious, and can be even frozen for up to 2 weeks. Use them as a snack, side, appetizer or filling for your wraps or burgers.

I’m serving them with fresh cilantro chutney. (Click on Link for the recipe) As we all are getting ready for a memorial day long weekend and BBQ’s, this can be a great addition to your snack or filling for burgers, wraps. They can be made Vegan by using a vegan yogurt and for the Glutenfree version, you can use any flour or choice. (Below are the pictures from 2015) Serve them as sides or filling for a wrap or burger. These can be stored in the freezer for upto a month. Tried Our Recipe – AWESOME!!!
