Air fryer vegetable fritters 

Method

Step 1

Add your chia or flax seeds to a ramekin and cover with water. Set aside for 10-15 minutes while you are preparing the rest of your ingredients. The mixture will become gelatinous, acting as a binder for the fritters.

Step 2

Peel and grate your potatoes and carrots, then use a clean muslin cloth or tea towel to squeeze out as much water as you can. You may have to squeeze two or three times.

Step 3

Add the grated potatoes and carrots to a large bowl, along with a finely chopped red onion. Follow by adding the paprika, garlic powder.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the yoghurt and flour well until free of lumps. Finely chop the parsley and add to the grated vegetables, along with the yoghurt and flour.

Step 5

Lastly add the chia/flax ‘egg’ and thoroughly mix all the ingredients until even.

Step 6

Set your air fryer to 180 C and line the tray with greaseproof paper.

Step 7

Spoon out the mixture into roughly golf-ball sized spheres and use your hands to flatten.

Step 8

Space evenly on the air fryer tray and cook at 180 C for 15 minutes. Use a palette knife to turn the fritters over halfway through cooking.

Step 9

While the fritters are cooking, prepare your garnishes. Mix the pesto and plain yoghurt.

Step 10

Remove fritters from the tray, leave to cool for 1-2 minutes, drizzle with pesto yoghurt and garnish with fresh basil and spring onion.
