Turn a freezer/pantry staple into a delicious, low-calorie light lunch
These fritters are low-carb, low-cal, high-fibre and taste incredible. They take 5 minutes to prepare and about 5 minutes to cook as well, so for convenience, look no further. It's a perfect light lunch - serve with a dipping sauce and maybe a little salad.
If cooking for friends or loved ones, or just getting ahead on some meal prep they can even be prepared ahead and kept in the fridge or even frozen and then heated through an oven at a later date.
Low-calorie vs low-carb cooking tips
If trying to keep the fat and calories down, use low-cal spray oil as your cooking medium. If low-carb/keto, shallow fry in a healthy fat such as avocado oil (this will bring up the calories a little). Either way, allow them to build up a golden crust before turning to make sure they hold together well.
