Air Fryer Sweet Polenta Breakfast Bites

Air Fryer Sweet Polenta Breakfast Bites crisp up so nicely in the Air Fryer and make a great addition to any breakfast.

What? Polenta for breakfast? Yesiree! Deep Fried Crispy little bites, covered in Powdered Sugar and drenched in Real Maple Syrup.  No, not really, these are Air Fryer Breakfast Sweet Polenta Bites that are not deep fried, but have a nice deep fried taste! At a fraction of the calories, you cannot go wrong.

Cast of Ingredients for Air Fryer Sweet Polenta Breakfast Bites

You will first need a batch of my Basic Creamy Polenta Recipe. After you make up a batch, put it in the refrigerator to cool. You can even do this the night before and then cook up your Air Fryer Breakfast Sweet Polenta Bites in the morning for breakfast.

 

Form Polenta into Balls

Using your hands or a 1.5 Tablespoons Cookie Dough Scooper, shape into balls and place on waxed paper.

 

Form the all into balls

You will get at least 26 balls from this recipe, I think. The Basic Creamy Polenta Recipe was so good, I kept having to take a little taste.

 

Lightly coat Polenta balls in Potato Starch

Pour the Potato Starch into a bowl and toss in a few of the Polenta Balls. Lightly coat them and shake off any excess Potato Starch. Yes, you can use Cornstarch if you like.

 

Lightly Dust with Potato Starch

Lightly Dust with Potato Starch

You can see that there is just a light dusting of the Potato Starch. The Potato Starch will lock in the moisture and allow the Air Fryer Sweet Polenta Breakfast Bites to crisp up in the Air Fryer.

 

Spray or Grease Air Fryer Basket

Using Ghee, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, or your favorite oil, take an Oil Mister and grease the Air Fryer Basket. I like to use Coconut Oil for this recipe, as it pair well with the sweetness of the Powdered Sugar and Real Maple Syrup. Place the Polenta Balls into the Air Fryer.

 

Spray the Tops of the Air Fryer Sweet Polenta Breakfast Bites

Mist the tops of the Polenta Balls with the Oil and place basket into Air Fryer. Use a Thin Spatula to turn the Polenta Balls halfway through.

    Could I do this using the pressure cooker polenta recipe, minus the goat cheese, of course?
