These crispy keto pumpkin fritters only take 5 minutes to make in the air fryer. They are savory appetizers or low-carb snacks.
What Are Pumpkin Fritters
A fritter is a word to describe basically any type of fried food – usually savory ones. You might hear about recipes for corn fritters or even crab fritters.
These pumpkin fritters are seasoned with garlic and parmesan cheese and coated with almond flour. What you have is a savory and salty snack with a hint of sweetness. They are so delicious that you won’t want to stop at just one. Thankfully, there is only 1g net carbs in each fritter, so you can indulge!
Keto Pumpkin Fritters
These keto pumpkin fritters are made with real pumpkin puree. In fact, if you are carving pumpkins, make your own puree and use it to make these low-carb and healthy fritters.
Since I made them in the air fryer, they aren’t deep-fried. This makes them even healthier because they don’t have all that extra grease or oil on them.
They are the perfect appetizer for fall parties, a fun grab-and-go snack, and even perfect to eat with your lunch.
Keto Fritters
If you search for keto fritters, chances are you’ll find recipes for zucchini fritters. I love my zucchini fritters and you probably will too! They are really easy to make and a delicious way to use up garden-fresh squash.
There is something so delicious about crispy little fritters. They remind me of comfort food. You’ll love the salty and savory taste of these fritters with the unmistakable pumpkin flavor underneath.
Almond Flour Fritters
When you use almond flour as the coating, make sure you are using almond flour and not almond meal. They are sold next to each other in the store, so it is easy to mix them up. Almond meal has a grainy texture and isn’t the best for fritters.
Fried foods like fritters don’t last very long in the refrigerator before they start to soften. Store these pumpkin fritters in an airtight container or food storage bag. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 3 days.
What Do You Eat With Fritters?
What you eat with them depends on when you are eating them. I like to eat these fritters with my lunch. Their crispy texture is the best thing and I enjoy it when I’m eating either a soup (like Tuscan sausage soup) or keto-friendly wrap (like this tuna salad lettuce wrap). You can also serve these fritters on the side with low-carb cheesy squash casserole. They taste amazing together.
Air Fryer Fritter Tips
I seriously love to use my air fryer! It sure made this air fryer pickle chips recipe a breeze. Anytime you use your air fryer, spray the basket with non-stick spray. This will make it easier to clean up.
You should also check on your fritters halfway through the cooking time. Not all air fryers are the exact same. Until you know how quickly your air fryer cooks things, it is best to check on them.
These fritters do not need to be flipped, but some recipes call for you to flip the ingredient over halfway through cooking.
