If serving with tzatziki, store it separately in a small airtight container and add just before serving.
REHEATING
The fritters can be enjoyed cold, at room temperature or reheated.
For a quick option, microwave until warmed through.
For the best texture and a crispy exterior, reheat in an air fryer at 200°C for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different gluten-free flour or traditional flour?
Yes. This recipe has been tested using Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour, which provides excellent texture and structure. Other gluten-free flour blends may work; however, results can vary depending on the blend used.
If using traditional plain flour, you may need slightly less flour as wheat flour absorbs moisture differently to gluten-free flour. The batter should be thick but still easy to scoop.
Can I use baby spinach instead of English spinach?
Yes. Baby spinach can be substituted in equal weight and does not need to be cooked beforehand.
Can I make these fritters ahead of time?
Yes. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
What should I serve with spanakopita fritters?
They're delicious with my Greek Tzatziki Dip, Greek yogurt, a simple salad or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
