Would this recipe work in an air fryer? I'm going to make them either way, just thought I would ask. Thanks
Irina
Absolutely! For the air fryer I suggest to line the cooking tray/basket with parchment paper. Af at 400 3 minutes per side or until done and golden brown
Tina
Thanks I'm doing this tonight!
Tina

The ingredient list says baking powder but you said soda in the directions, which one is it?
Linda
Is it Baking powder or Baking Soda?
Irina
Baking soda
Jean
You should change the ingredients in the recipe! I wouldn't have known the right one had I not read this.
Irina
Updated the recipe. Thank you for your note. Please let me know if you tried them?
Jean
Thanks, I will. They sound really good.

It has carrot, onion, white flour and sour cream.. individually these ingredients are ok in small quantities on the keto diet. Together like this they all add up.. while this "might" be considered a keto friendly dish to some, it's not really unless this is the only carbs you plan to eat for that day and only a smallish portion.
Karen
They look great but I don’t like sour cream. What would be the best substitute? Thanks
Irina
Hi Karen.
Mayonnaise and yogurt is a good substitute.
Or you can leave them out.
April
Definitely not Keto friendly as another comment. I'll probably try them with some substitutes as they sound good...no carrots, onion and garlic powder and coconut flour. Coconut flour cannot be used 1:1 for other flours, so will only add a bit to get the correct consistency. I see there is a question on baking soda or powder and both are in the recipe. Ok, maybe I'll just delete both!!!

What temperature?

Can I use coleslaw mix instead of chopping up the lettuce and carrots? I want to add shrimp to the patties as well.
Irina
Yes, absolutely, you can use coleslaw mix. Adding shrimp to the patties is a Wonderful idea!
