- •These fritters freeze beautifully; just reheat them in the oven when you're ready to enjoy!
Recipe Variations

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Absolutely! Just preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
