Steps for Homemade Air Fryer Spinach Patties
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Also, cook the spinach as you prefer, boiled or steamed. I use the microwave, steaming on high power for 5 minutes.
In the food processor, place the chicken breast strips and run the blades for 10 seconds. If necessary, use a teaspoon to bring the minced meat back to the center. Now add the well-squeezed spinach, and the parmesan.
Run the processor for another 20 seconds. You should have a fairly homogeneous mixture. If not, let the blades run a little longer.
Pour the breadcrumbs into a plate and, taking some of the mixture, shape the spinach patties, coating them well.
Now I recommend, before cooking them, to keep them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. In any case, you can freeze them in a bag, dividing them with parchment paper. They will keep for about a month.
To cook them, lay the parchment paper in the air fryer and cook at 392 F for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook them in the microwave with the Crisp function for 5 minutes.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I cook the spinach patties immediately after preparing them?
I recommend letting them firm up in the freezer for about half an hour before cooking to maintain their shape and texture.
Can I add salt to the recipe?
You can add salt to the mixture before coating it with breadcrumbs. I prefer to salt the patties only after they are cooked.
