How to Make It
Step 1
Roughly chop the spring onions and bell peppers. Cut the pepperoni slices into smaller pieces. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pepperoni, spring onions, and bell peppers. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Remove the pepperoni mixture from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Allow it to cool for 10-12 minutes, and then add the eggs. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
Shred the cheddar cheese. Add to a bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well again and set it aside.
Step 4
Add the almond flour and baking powder to a separate bowl. Mix until fully incorporated. Make sure to break any lumps.
Step 5
Add the almond flour mixture to a bowl with eggs. Mix well until fully incorporated. The dough will be sticky.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease your hands with olive oil. Shape the dough into 10 equal balls and gently flatten to shape the fritter. Arrange the fritters over the prepared tray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with some shredded parmesan or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
