Air Fryer Feta Kale Fritters

I was looking for a warm side dish using kale and feta to go with some Sous Vide steak I was making. I came up with Air Fryer Feta Kale Fritters.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1.5 cups kale, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove finely chopped
• 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
     
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2/3 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs (I used basil, oregano, parsley, garlic, and onion powder)
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tablespoons cup milk

Instructions:

1. Saute the kale, onion and garlic over medium heat in a tablespoon of olive oil until the onion softens. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and allow to cool.
2. Whisk all the dry fritter ingredients together in a medium bowl.
3. Preheat the air fryer for a couple of minutes at 400 degrees.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients together.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, and stir until just combined.
6. Mix in the kale mixture and crumbled feta.
7. Spray the bottom grill of the air fryer with cooking spray.
8. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out balls of the fritter dough into the air fryer, keeping them as separate as possible.
9. Air fry for 8 - 10 minutes at 400 degrees, possibly rotating them.

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! The fritters were light and tasty - especially if you like feta!
I think if you cooked them the full 8 minutes they would stay together better - but hey, the steak was ready.
