Note

Storage: Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.

Substitutions: You can use gluten-free flour instead of whole wheat flour for a gluten-free version. Olive oil or avocado oil can replace sunflower oil.

Tips: If the mixture is too wet to hold its shape, add a little more flour. If it is too dry, add a splash of water or reserved bean liquid.

Variations: Add diced onions, ginger, or chili flakes to the mixture for extra flavor. Experiment with different herbs like cilantro instead of parsley.
