Prep a flavorful plant-based meal with these step-by-step instructions for Curry Chickpea Kale Burgers and Baked Sweet Potato Fries.
- Heating one tablespoon of olive oil in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or a conventional sauté pan is an excellent way to start.
- Caramelize minced garlic and chopped onion in a pan by sautéing them together.
- While a food processor is running, blend together the chickpeas, kale, lemon juice, sunflower seeds, oats, spices, and the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil in harmony. Caramelize the garlic and onions, then blend them with a gentle pulse until the mixture reaches a silky consistency that can be shaped into a cohesive patty.
- Shape the chickpea mixture into four patties. Recoat the sauté pan with a light layer of oil and sear the patties over medium heat for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until a rich golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.
- Roast your garlic: discover the simple steps to unlock its rich flavor. With the motor running, process the mixture of chickpeas, lemon juice, curry powder, parsley, and salt until smooth and well combined. Pulse.
- As you process the chickpeas, slowly add the coconut milk and olive oil to combine.
- Continue to pulse until smooth. To ensure a seamless texture, incorporate additional olive oil into your mixture.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Lay a sheet pan with aluminum foil and lightly mist with a non-stick cooking spray for effortless food release and cleanup.
- If you prefer your French fries without skins, peel the sweet potatoes. I didn’t mind the texture of my potato’s natural exterior. Slice the potatoes into uniform quarter-inch thick slivers.
- Toss the strips with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne to create a harmonious balance of flavors.
- Arrange a uniform layer of seasoned fries on the sheet pan. Roast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
