Instructions
1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
After boiling the sweet potatoes until tender, allow them to cool slightly. Then, mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
2. Mix the Ingredients
To the mashed sweet potatoes, add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onions, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Form the Cakes
Using your hands, shape the sweet potato mixture into small patties (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten slightly to form cakes. If the mixture is too sticky, you can dust your hands with a bit of flour.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for 3-5 minutes.
5. Air Fry the Sweet Potato Cakes
Place the cakes in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. If desired, brush the tops lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
6. Serve
Once cooked, remove the sweet potato cakes from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to a meal.
Tips:
You can add chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro for a fresh touch.
If you like a spicy kick, include some chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce in the mixture.
Enjoy these air fryer sweet potato cakes as a guilt-free, crispy treat!
