Ingredients

Fritters

15 oz ricotta cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese vegetarian
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons oat fiber add more if required
¼ cup basil, fresh chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

To cook fritters

3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
¼ cup oat fiber to roll fritters in

Instructions

In a medium size bowl add the ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, lemon zest, basil, salt & pepper. Mix well.
Add the oat fibre and mix until you have a dough. If the mixture is too sticky, gradually add more oat fibre.
Take small amounts of the dough and roll into pieces, about the side of a walnut and flatten into a fritter shape. Thin will fry better.
In a shallow bowl add the remaining oat fiber and roll the fritters in the fiber to coat them.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat.
Place the fritters in the frying pan and cook for about 2 minutes each side, until golden. Flip them carefully, as they can be delicate.
If they fall apart, you can reshape them in the pan
Serve immediately.

Notes

Makes 20 fritters (small size the shape of a walnut). I've estimated 4 servings based on a small lunch.

The net carbs will be the total carb count minus the fibre count. Carb count excludes sugar alcohols.
