Tuna and Sweet Potato Patties

My kids has got a little bit fussy with fish the older they got, so I thought I would come up with a pattie recipe where I can add some tuna and vegetables that hopefully my kids would eat. They were a huge hit, my daughter especially loved them. You can actually add various different grated vegetables to this to vary them up a bit.

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 red pepper finely chopped
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp of black pepper
  • 2 cans of tuna 280g
  • 1 small zucchini grated
  • fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon of avocado oil

Instructions
 

  • Pierce sweet potato with a fork and microwave for approx 8 mins till slightly soft. Cut in half, scoop out flesh and roughly mash in a large bowl (If you prefer, you can steam in a steamer until fork tender)
  • Preheat oven to 200c or 400f (gas mark 6)
  • While the sweet potato cools down, Add avocado oil to a frying pan over a medium heat. Saute the onion to soften, stir in the red pepper and zucchini and just fry for couple more mins.
  • Add this to the sweet potato, along with the tuna, pepper, eggs and fresh chopped parsley.
  • Combine all ingredients together.
  • Line a baking tray with some parchment paper, form the mixture into equal sized patties, place on tray and bake in the oven for approx 30-40 mins till edges are golden and patties are firm.
  • Serve with your choice of sides and a dipping sauce of your choice.

        Would you still fry these then freeze or freeze before frying and then oven bake from frozen?

          Hi Kat, either would work, frying before freezing would reduce some of the cooking time, so that might be your preferred choice

    Hi Catherine, can I use fresh salmon instead of tuna? If so, would I need to cook first or can I just process it (raw) and allow to cook in oven with veggies? Thanks 🙂

      Fresh salmon would definitely work in these, I would lightly cook first.

    Hi, do I need to squeeze liquid out of the zucchini?

      Hi Lianne, no need to squeeze out liquid as you are sauteing in pan first, so most excess liquid will be removed then, hope that helps 🙂
