Ketogenic Fritters are delicious savory sides to serve at dinner. The crispy crunchy pancake-like recipes are creative ways to incorporate low-carb veggies and herbs.
Here’s another low-carb, keto diet approved recipe! I never use wheat or corn starch as binders in my easy keto recipes.
The great thing about each style of ketogenic fritter is that they are all easy to make and don’t take too much time!
Consider them akin to savory pancakes, super easy to batch for weekly meal prep and store in the fridge or freezer for long-term. They pack well into lunch boxes and coolers. Take these to work, while traveling, or out picnicing with your family!
Most recipes use a base of egg and cheese to hold the form together while cooking. Cabbage, zucchini, and cauliflower are common low-carb vegetables that work with coconut or almond flour to create the fluff and bulk of the fritter.
Choose any recipe below and serve with something like pickle relish, tomatillo salsa, or other low-carb dip. Home fermented sauerkraut and yogurt dips with Raw Milk Yogurt are also excellent tangy additions! These add-ons give a light contrast to the oily greasy fritter.
Forget about hash-browns, these ketogenic fritters are where it’s at!
7 Ketogenic Fritters
A good fritter is all about getting those edges nice and crispy without needing wheat flour or cornstarch. These recipes use eggs, cheese, and low-carb veggies to make sturdy, pan-fried patties that work as a quick dinner side or a prep-ahead lunch. You can fry up a big batch on the weekend and pull them straight out of the fridge whenever you need a fast bite.

Curry Cabbage Fritters
Shredded cabbage and curry powder fry up into a nice, crispy pancake with plenty of bite. The cold yogurt sauce on top cools down the warm spices nicely. You can eat a couple for a light lunch or serve them alongside grilled chicken or steak.
Diced chicken breast and shredded cheese fry into little bite-sized patties that are full of protein. They take just a few minutes in a skillet, which helps on busy nights when you need food fast. Kids usually clear these off the plate without any complaints.
Thinly sliced fennel and salty feta cheese make a really good flavor combo in a skillet. As the pancakes cook, the cheese melts and gets crispy on the bottom. It is a nice way to change things up if you are tired of plain eggs or basic sides.
Chopped broccoli binds together into simple pan-fried patties that make eating your greens easy. They stay soft on the inside while getting brown and crispy around the edges. Eat them hot right out of the pan with a big scoop of sour cream.
Grated parmesan forms a crunchy cheese crust around chopped broccoli as it cooks. The hot oil browns the cheese while keeping the broccoli tender inside. It is a great recipe to use when you want to turn a head of broccoli into something other than plain steamed florets.
Riced cauliflower and shredded cheese mix together to make a golden patty that hits the spot. You get that same satisfying crunch as a potato hash brown without feeling stuffed or sluggish after. Just give them a few minutes on each side in a hot pan until they brown up.
Chopped shrimp and cheese fry together into a quick, savory patty. Because shrimp cooks so fast, the center stays tender while the outside gets crisp. Set them out on a plate for party snacks or throw a few together for a quick evening meal.
I so love fritters! I’ll make sure to try all of these someday. Thank you so much for sharing!
Awesome! They are fun sides to any meal 🙂 Enjoy!
