Gluten-Free Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fritters
Servings: 12 Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes peeled or unpeeled
- 1 (5-ounce) bag finely crushed Jackson’s Sweet Potato Chips (any flavor, but we used Carolina BBQ)
- 2 large eggs (or flax egg for vegan) * see note 1
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose gluten-free flour or almond or oat flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Olive oil or avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Grate the sweet potato using a box grater or food processor. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, crushed chips, eggs (or flax eggs), green onion, flour, and seasonings. Mix until fully combined.
- Form the mixture into 12 small patties, about ½ inch thick.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly grease the basket and the tops of the cakes with olive or avocado oil spray. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Great with sour cream, dairy-free yogurt, fresh herbs such as dill, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Notes
1. To make flax eggs, combine 2 tablespoons flax seed meal with 5 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes. This is the equivalent of two eggs.
2. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more crushed chips or flour. If it feels too dry, add a splash of water or a bit of oil.
