Can I substitute cottage cheese in beetroot cutlets?

How do I make these cutlets gluten-free?

Swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour, chickpea flour, or almond flour for binding.

Can I bake beetroot cutlets instead of frying?

Yes! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and cooked through.

How long do beetroot cutlets last in the fridge?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven for best texture.

The mixture may be too wet. Add more flour or chill the shaped cutlets for 15 minutes before frying.

Can I use canned beetroot?

Yes, but drain and pat dry grated canned beetroot thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.
