Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the onions
Slice or chop the onions, depending on whether you like chunkier fritters or finer pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Mix the batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and seasonings. Stir until the mixture forms a thick batter. Add the onions and fold them in until they’re evenly coated.
3. Heat the oil
In a skillet, heat about 2–3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
4. Fry the fritters
Scoop a spoonful of the onion mixture and gently drop it into the pan, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Serve and enjoy
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite low-carb dips—sour cream, ranch dressing, or even a homemade sugar-free ketchup.
Tips for Perfect Fritters
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Fry in small batches to keep the oil temperature steady and ensure crispness.
Experiment with spices: Add a pinch of cayenne for heat or Italian herbs for a different flavor profile.
Make ahead: You can prep the batter a few hours in advance and fry just before serving.
