ZUCCHINI:

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

TIPS:

• Swap the regular high-carb flour with keto binding agents like flaxseed meal, pork rinds(crushed), psyllium husk, parmesan cheese, & almond/coconut flour.
• You can include more low-carb veggies of your choice, like cabbage, broccoli, kale, spinach, etc.
• You can up/down the amount of spices as per your taste. You also have the option of adding other spices of your choice.
• A very important tip to have the best results is to squeeze & remove most of the water from the veggies. This will make your fritters crisper.
• Never overfill the skillet with fritters while frying. Fry them in batches. Otherwise, your fritters will not be crispy.
• Use an oven/an air fryer to go oil-free if you want. In an oven, the fritters will take around 25 minutes at four hundred degrees F.
• While in the air fryer, it takes around twenty mins to fry crisp at 375 degrees F.
