Going keto means eating lots of protein and healthy fats. Meat, fish, and eggs are in, and pasta, bread, and potatoes are out. This raises a question – what CAN you eat to make your meals more filling and tastier?
The obvious answer is non-starchy vegetables, but endlessly eating things like cauliflower, cabbage, salad greens, and zucchini can soon get old, even if they ARE all-but carb-free.
Liven up your keto meals with these low-carb corn fritters. They taste good, are crispy, and are a great addition to almost any meal. Serve with the meat or fish of your choice, or with bacon and topped with a fried egg. Delicious!

Bottom Line
Corn is a useful keto ingredient. Despite being a grain (corn is not a vegetable), it’s high in water and fiber and low in carbs. Corn is sweet and crunchy, which are two things that are often missing on the ketogenic diet.
Quick and easy to make, these corn fritters are ideal for breakfast, as an accompaniment to keto staples like meat and fish, or on their own as a tasty and filling snack.
Spice them up with sweet chili sauce and serve with slices of avocado to increase your intake of healthy fats. You can also make them even more flavorsome by adding grated parmesan cheese to your batter.
