Serving Suggestions

• With sour cream or tangy yogurt dip

• Next to grilled chicken or fish

• Alongside a fresh garden salad

• Topped with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan

Tips for Perfect Fritters

• Don’t overcrowd the skillet—fry in batches.

• Slice onions thin for even cooking.

• Keep oil hot but not smoking (medium heat is best).

• For extra crunch, let them sit on a wire rack instead of paper towels.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. Re-crisp in a skillet or air fryer.

• Freezer: Freeze on a tray, then store in a bag for up to 1 month. Reheat straight from frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway for crispness.

Do I have to use almond flour?

Almond flour keeps it low-carb, but oat flour or regular flour will also work if carbs aren’t a concern.

Can I make them ahead?

Absolutely—prep the batter and keep in the fridge for up to 1 day. Fry fresh for best results.
