- Brush a frying pan with coconut oil and heat over medium.
- Pour 3-4 tbsp fritter batter on to pan and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface
- Turn fritters over and cook on the other size for another 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
- Transfer fritters to a plate.
- Repeat process with remaining mixture. The recipe should make approx. 6 large fritters.
- To make the Spicy Avocado Aioli, place all aioli ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve your fritters with Spicy Avocado Aioli on it’s own. Enjoy!
Notes:
- Don’t like spice? You can create both the aioli and the fritters without the jalapeño or red chilli.
- For even crispier fritters, you can bake them in the oven at 180C for 10-15 mins after they have been cooked in the pan.
- You can get creative with garnishes and toppings - serve hot or cold with lemon or lime juice, coconut yoghurt, store brought aioli, or our Glowing Green Goddess Dressing recipe.
