Keto friendly recipes: Low Carb Vegie Fritters

When you first start out on a low carb diet you think you can never get sick of bacon and eggs. A few months later and you find yourself dragging your feet towards the skillet! Here's my favourite brunch treat - Corn Fritters - made keto friendly.

Low Carb Vegie Fritters

1 capsicum (bell pepper)
1/2 onion
1 cup raw spinach
1/2 cup almond meal/flour
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
salt and pepper to taste
oil for frying

Method

• Dice the onions and capsicum into small pieces, about 1cm (1/4 inch) in width
• Hold the spinach in a bunch with your hand and shred into small slivers
• Put in a mixing bowl then add the almond flour

Mix the almond flour through until the vegies are coated in the flour

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper and the almond milk and then beat until well mixed

• Add the liquid egg mix into the mixing bowl and stir well, the almond flour should thicken and cause a batter with the liquid
• If the consistency is wrong add another tbspn of almond flour

• Lightly oil a flat pan or skillet and heat on a medium flame
• Add a wooden spoon full of the vegetable batter to form each fritter
• Keep on a medium heat or the fritter will burn before the egg and vegetables cook through

• When the sides of the fritters begin to cook flip quickly with a spatula and fry on the other side until cooked through (should be 2-3 mins or less)

• Top with your favourite keto friendly toppings - here I have pictured Sour Cream and Tapatio Hot Sauce and Goat Cheese with Basil Pesto
• This recipe should make 6 fritters - 2 per person is a solid meal.
