Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup olive oil
Instructions
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
Finely chop the green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, coconut flour, almond flour, egg, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.
Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and can hold shape when formed into balls.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; you want enough oil to cover about half of each ball.
Using your hands, form the sweet potato mixture into 1.5-inch balls.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the balls into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the balls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet, allowing them to drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Repeat the process until all the sweet potato mixture is fried.
Serve immediately for best crispiness. Enjoy your Whole30 compliant crispy fried balls as a snack or appetizer!
