# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in less than 40 minutes using ingredients you probably already have.
  • The outside crisps up beautifully while the inside stays tender and flavorful.
  • They're endlessly adaptable, you can toss in whatever vegetables need using up.
  • The tangy dipping sauce turns them from simple to crave worthy.
02 -
  • If your batter is too wet, the fritters will fall apart in the oil, add a tablespoon more flour if needed.
  • Don't flip them too early or the edges will stick and tear, wait until you see golden brown creeping up the sides.
  • Let the oil come back to temperature between batches or your fritters will turn soggy.
03 -
  • Use a spring loaded ice cream scoop to portion the batter evenly, it keeps your hands clean and the fritters uniform.
  • If the oil starts smoking, lower the heat immediately, burnt oil ruins the flavor.
  • Make a double batch of the dipping sauce, it's so good you'll want extra for drizzling over salads or using as a sandwich spread.
