Chef Tips

- Unte levemente as palmas das mãos com azeite ao modelar as coxinhas para facilitar o fechamento sem rachaduras - Deixe o recheio de frango esfriar totalmente para que o calor não amoleça a massa de batata-doce durante a modelagem - Pincele um fio fino de azeite sobre a farinha de rosca integral antes de assar para obter uma coloração mais dourada

Variations

- Misture 2 colheres de sopa de cottage ou ricota amassada ao recheio de frango para trazer cremosidade sem elevar as gorduras - Adicione sementes de chia ou gergelim misturadas à farinha de rosca integral para conferir crocância extra na crosta - Incorpore 1 colher de café de cúrcuma em pó à massa de batata-doce para obter uma cor amarelada vibrante

Substitutions

- A farinha de aveia da massa pode ser substituída por farinha de amêndoas ou farinha de grão-de-bico - A batata-doce pode ser substituída por mandioquinha cozida ou abóbora cabotiá assada no mesmo peso - A farinha de rosca integral pode ser trocada por farinha de linhaça dourada para empanar

How to Store

Store the baked coxinhas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the electric oven at 180°C for 10 minutes or in the air fryer at 160°C for 6 minutes to restore the crunchiness of the whole wheat crust.

Can You Freeze It?

The coxinhas can be frozen shaped and breaded raw or already baked for up to 90 days in an airtight bag. Bake the frozen units directly in the preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes without thawing.

What to Serve With

Excellent for pre- or post-workout snacks, accompanied by a natural yogurt sauce with herbs or a fresh green leaf and tomato salad. Also pairs well with cold-pressed green juice or unsweetened iced tea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the sweet potato dough become too soft to shape?

This happens when the potato is cooked in too much water, absorbing liquid; steam or dry the mashed pulp over low heat for a few minutes.

Can I make the fit coxinha in the air fryer instead of the traditional oven?

Yes, bake in the air fryer preheated to 180°C for about 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through to brown evenly.

How to ensure the tip of the coxinha doesn't burn before the rest?

Shape a rounded and uniform end without thinning excessively, keeping the thickness of the crust constant throughout the piece.

Can I freeze the Coxinha before breading with egg and flour?

It is recommended to bread before freezing, as the layer of flour protects the dough and prevents the pieces from sticking to each other in the freezer.
