FAQs

1. Can I use other types of onions?
Yes, you can use yellow or red onions if you prefer. Each type will bring a different flavor to the fritters.

2. Can I bake these instead of frying?
While frying gives the best crunch, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway. They may not be as crispy but will still taste great!

3. Can I freeze Onion Fritters?
Yes, you can freeze them! Make sure they are fully cooled before placing them in a freezer-safe container. When ready to eat, reheat them in the oven or air fryer to crisp them up again.
