Potato, Broccoli and Corn Fritters (baked, no egg, oil-free)
Transform those boring leftover mashed potatoes into flavorful potato broccoli fritters! Baked or air-fried until golden brown, we've added broccoli, corn, and seasonings to give them a cheesy, full-flavored taste. This delicious recipe is egg-free, oil-free, and plant-based.
Cut broccoli florets into small pieces. It's helpful to heat them for 2 minutes in the microwave first, just to thaw them a little bit. They are easier to cut that way. They will cook in the oven/air fryer, so microwaving them is purely to make them easier to chop. If you're using fresh broccoli instead of frozen, there's no need to microwave it first.
3 ½ cups frozen broccoli florets
Add all ingredients (potatoes, broccoli, corn, nutritional yeast, green onion, salt, garlic, onion, black pepper and onion powder to a large bowl.
4 cups leftover mashed potatoes, 2 ½ cups frozen corn kernels, ½ cup nutritional yeast, ½ cup fresh green onion/scallion, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 3 ½ cups frozen broccoli florets
Stir everything together, so all the seasonings are well-incorporated.
Shape into thin patties or discs.
Air Fryer Instructions
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper (skip this step if your air fryer basket is TRULY non-stick). Add fritters in a single layer. Do not overlap them. You'll likely have to make a few batches. Air-fry at 400°F for 20-22 minutes, until a golden-brown crust has formed on the outside. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard or vegan ranch dressing.
Oven Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add fritters in a single layer. Do not overlap them. Use two sheet pans, if needed. Bake at 425°F for 40-50 minutes, until a golden-brown crust has formed on the outside. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as BBQ sauce, ketchup, mustard or vegan ranch dressing.
