Cooking Steps

ROAST THE SWEET POTATO
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 2cm chunks. Cut the beetroot into 1cm chunks. In a medium bowl, combine the harissa paste, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the sweet potato and beetroot and toss to coat. Spread over an oven tray lined with baking paper. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cook time, add the walnuts to the side of the oven tray and bake until fragrant and toasted.

TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell it's cooked when it can be easily pierced with a fork.

Get prepped
2

While the veggies are roasting, drain and rinse the lentils. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the parsley leaves. Thinly slice the spring onion. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.

Make the lentil patties
3

In a medium bowl, mash the lentils until smooth using a potato masher or fork. Add the garlic, parsley, spring onion, lemon zest, dukkah, egg and fine breadcrumbs. Crumble in 3/4 of the fetta and mix well. Using damp hands, form the mixture into 1cm-thick patties. You should get 3 patties per person. Place the patties on a plate and transfer to the fridge for 5 minutes.

TIP: Chilling the patties helps them firm up!

Fry the patties
4

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the lentil patties and cook until golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.

TIP: Let the patties get firm before trying to turn them over, add extra oil if needed to prevent sticking. TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for the best results!

Make the salad
5

While the patties are cooking, combine a squeeze of lemon juice with the honey and a drizzle of olive oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Add the mixed salad leaves, sweet potato, beetroot and walnuts to the dressing. Just before serving, toss to coat.

TIP: Allow the roasted veggies to cool slightly before adding to the bowl to keep the leaves crisp.

Serve up
6

Divide the harissa sweet potato salad and lentil, parsley and dukkah patties between plates. Crumble the remaining fetta over the salad. Serve with the dill & parsley mayo and lemon wedges.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the tasty, flavourful patties, though some found them overly salty or dry. The dukkah added a nice spice kick.
  • Ease of prep: While some found it fiddly, others praised the simplicity. Chilling the patties before cooking helped them firm up.
  • Suggestions: Several suggested adding hummus or a tahini yoghurt sauce to combat dryness. Some recommended using less veggie stock to reduce saltiness.
  • Leftovers: Patties worked well cold in salads or wraps the next day. Some found them great for work lunches.
  • Portions: A few mentioned the veggie portions were small, particularly the sweet potato and beetroot. Consider adding more greens.
