Equipment

Oven

Ingredients

1 cup leftover mashed sweet potato cold
1 cup cooked quinoa
½ cup grated cheese
sesame seeds to sprinkle

Instructions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan forced).
Line a baking tray with greaseproof baking paper.
Place the cold mashed sweet potato and the cooked quinoa into a bowl.
Add the grated cheese and stir to combine.
Use a tablespoon to place dollops of the mixture onto the baking tray and shape into a small pattie shape.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake for 20 minutes and then turn over the bites over. Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds and lightly spray with olive oil.
Bake for a further 15 minutes.
Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

To make 1 cup of quinoa you will need to cook approximately ½ cup according to the packet instructions.
You can use a combination of sweet potato and pumpkin mash.
It's important that the leftover mash is cold as it makes it easier to form into patties.
The sweet potato quinoa bites will firm on cooling (but will remain soft on the inside).
