Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Quinoa Fritters
Combine the grated sweet potato, mashed black beans, and cooked quinoa in a medium bowl.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, pepper, egg and flour and combine.
Form the fritters into patties of your desired size.
Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and sizzles when a sprinkle of water hits it, add the fritters to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Serve as is or with aioli, cilantro lime sauce, guacamole, spicy mayonnaise, cashew dip, or any other dip of your choice, if desired.
Tips and Techniques
- If the fritter batter is not sticking together at all, gradually add more flour until it does. They will hold together better once cooked.
- If you’d like your fritters to be a bit spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes or chipotle chili powder.
- Store leftover fritters tightly covered in the refrigerator. Use within 3-5 days.
