Instructions

- Form (pancake disks or slightly mounded) 8-10 fritters on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch each other. Brush with a light coating of olive oil.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes on one side. Flip and bake another 10-12 mins until golden. (Total bake time: 20-25 mins)
- Alternatively: Pan fry the fritter pancakes (1/3″ thick) in oil, 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon and with a dipping sauce! Good options:
- *My preferred sauce: plain greek yogurt + hot sauce + garlic.
- Mayo
