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.
