Amish cooking has a reputation for being hearty, simple, and satisfying, and few recipes capture that spirit better than onion fritters. Traditionally, these golden-brown bites are made with a wheat flour batter and fried until perfectly crisp, creating a snack or side dish that’s both rustic and delicious. But if you’re following a low-carb or keto lifestyle, the classic version may not fit your plan.
The good news? With just a few swaps, you can make Low Carb Amish Onion Fritters that retain all the flavor and crunch of the original—without the carb-heavy batter. This recipe proves that comfort food can be both wholesome and waistline-friendly.
