Ingredients & Substitutions
Chickpea flour is a great binder here and adds a lovely nutty flavor. If you don’t have it, you can use regular all-purpose flour, but I really love the texture that chickpea flour gives. And feel free to experiment with spices – a little cayenne would add a nice kick if you’re feeling adventurous!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my fritters warm in the oven while I finish cooking the rest – just pop them on a baking sheet at 200°F (90°C).
- •If your mixture feels too wet, add a bit more chickpea flour until it holds together – this can vary depending on the moisture in your sweet potatoes.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a handful of grated zucchini for an extra veggie boost – just make sure to squeeze out the excess moisture first.
- •If you want a hint of sweetness, try mixing in a tablespoon of maple syrup into the batter – it complements the sweet potatoes beautifully!
Storage & Freezing
These fritters are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in a hot skillet for a few minutes or in the oven to crisp them up again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Absolutely! If you want to bake them, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush them lightly with olive oil and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
What can I serve with these fritters?
I love serving them with a tangy vegan yogurt sauce or a simple avocado dip. They’re also fantastic on their own!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by peeling and grating the sweet potatoes. You want them to be nice and fine, almost like a slaw.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, chickpea flour, chopped green onions, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want it hot enough that a drop of water sizzles when it hits the pan.
- 4
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture per fritter and flatten them slightly in your hands.
- 5
Carefully place the fritters in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- 7
Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
