Instruction

  • 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.
