Start your day right with these nutrient-packed savory sweet potato & chickpea fritters. Easy, quick, and health-boosting breakfast delight!
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and grated
- • canned chickpeas: 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- • red onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- • fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • chickpea flour: 1/3 cup
- • olive oil spray
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking throughout the fritters.
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, chickpeas, red onion, and cilantro. Mash the chickpeas slightly with a fork or potato masher to help bind the mixture.
- 3 Add garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and chickpea flour to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky batter.
- 4 Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Lightly spray each fritter with olive oil to encourage browning.
- 5 Place the fritters in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- 6 Carefully remove the fritters from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These fritters are perfect served with a side of fresh mixed greens drizzled with lemon vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a vegan alternative like coconut yogurt for creaminess. Pair with a freshly squeezed orange juice or a hot cup of herbal tea to round out a nutritious breakfast. For an extra kick, serve with a tangy avocado-tomato salsa or a spicy sriracha mayo. These fritters also make an excellent brunch option when paired with poached eggs and sautéed spinach.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispy texture. For longer storage, freeze the fritters in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. They can be reheated directly from frozen in the air fryer.
