Today in BiteMyRecipe We have prepared a very healthy recipe for sweet potato croquettes in a airfryer and with a touch of feta cheese!
Sweet potatoes are a very healthy option to add carbohydrates to our diets and can also be cooked in many ways.
The crispy sweet potato croquettes recipe also has a creamy touch that feta cheese brings but without bechamel that can be tedious to make.
The sweet potato recipe in an air fryer is very simple and we save ourselves the oily "frying" that many times makes us gain too much weight.
What I like the most about the sweet potato croquettes recipe in aifryer is the combination of sweet potato and cheese that is perfect It can also be accompanied with any sauce.
For the air fryer I have not used any accessories, I have only put the sweet potato croquettes in the basket of the air fryer with a little parchment paper so as not to stain
I recommend other healthy recipes in a airfryer such as the recipe for eggplant moussaka with tuna in air fryer or the recipe for quiche with cheese and nuts in aifryer.

- You can accompany the sweet potato croquettes with Mexican green sauce in aifryer or raspberry and piquillo pepper sauce in aifryer
- You can also cook the sweet potato in the air fryer instead of in the microwave.
