This recipe appeared in my Keto appetizer search.
They sound delicious and are keto except for the flour and panko ingredients.
I’m going to sub almond meal for those ingredients, then I’ll report back.
Thanks for posting.
Hi Dee, awesome! I would love to hear how they turn out. :)
Can these be frozen after frying?
Hi Dan, it would be better if they were frozen prior to frying.
Could I use my air dryer instead of pan frying.
Hi C, I have not used an air fryer for this recipe but it’s worth a try. Just do a few and see how it works. If it works great, if not, go ahead and fry them. They are DELICIOUS!
