Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato (around 10oz/300g)
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 large onion
- ⅓ cup sweetcorn
- ½ cup flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Peel and grate the sweet potato using the large side of the grater.
- Prepare the flax egg by stirring together ground flaxseed and water, and setting aside for 10 minutes until a gel-like consistency forms.
- Add the sweet potato, onion, sweetcorn, flour, salt, cumin, paprika, flax egg, tomato paste and soy sauce to a mixing bowl. Stir together well.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over a medium-high heat. Shape the fritters using your hands, then place them on the frying pan/skillet using a spatula. Flatten them down gently, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then, flip and cook for 3-4 minutes more, until crispy and cooked all the way through.
- Remove from the frying pan and serve the fritters with any dip or sauce of your choice.

Notes
- To fry: line a baking tray with parchment paper. Brush the fritters with olive oil on both sides, arrange them on the baking tray and bake at 350 degrees F/180 degrees C for 20-25 minutes, until crispy and fully cooked through.
- To freeze: freeze the fritters in a ziplock bag, placing a piece of parchment paper in between the individual fritters, for up to 2 months. You can reheat them directly from frozen in a skillet, or by placing in the oven at 350 degrees F/180 degrees C for 25 minutes.
