Servings: 8 Fritters (1 Per Serving)
Calories: 169kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups finely ground almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups sliced fresh okra
- ¼ cup chopped onions
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- High-quality oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the okra and onions and toss to coat.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and almond milk. Gently fold the okra mixture into the egg mixture until the okra is coated on all sides.
- Pour ¼ inch of oil into a large skillet, then set the pan over medium heat and heat the oil until hot (when ready, it will appear to be shimmering).
- Working on a couple of batches, gently drop the batter in 2-tablespoon mounts into the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan after each batch. The fritters are best eaten hot, right out of the skillet.
