Recipe Tips

I used lupini beans from a jar as it’s a lot easier than having to boil dried beans. The brand I used was Flora.

These fritters are baked but you could shallow fry them or cook them in the air fryer. I think the air fryer would work better than shallow frying as they will keep their shape better and have an extra crispy taste.

Use a spice blend to your own tastes. Up the chilli or try more dried herbs.
