Battered sweet potato and tofu bites

Making mess-free, nutritious, filling and most of all tasty finger food has been my mission since the boys were very small. These bites come with extra chickpea protein and make a great addition to any lunch box or picnic as well as a healthy snack when out and about.



What you need:


Small sweet potato (approx. 250g) – peeled and cut into bite sized chunks

Firm tofu (approx. 250g) – cut into bite sized chunks

80g chickpea flour (gram)

3 tbsp milled flaxseed

2 tsp paprika

2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic granules

1 tbsp rapeseed oil

Juice of half a lemon

200ml water

Sea salt to taste



How you do it:


Preheat the oven at gas mark 5 (190C).


In lightly salted water boil the sweet potato chunks until tender but not mushy.


Meanwhile prepare the batter.


Mix all the dry ingredients before adding water, lemon and oil.


With a fork mix it until you get a smooth, thick paste.


Put a few sweet potato and tofu bits into the batter and – using your hands (this is a little messy) – ‘fish’ them out making sure they are more or less evenly coated with a substantial amount of batter.


Place them on a lined baking tray.


Once all bites are covered in batter bake them for 20 minutes or until the batter is dry and firm.


Leave to cool down and enjoy.
