No change

He turned off the flame because the fritters were too roasted to eat.

The sentence is grammatically correct. It effectively conveys that the person turned off the flame, likely on a cooking appliance, because the fritters were overly roasted and, therefore, unsuitable for consumption. The structure adheres to standard grammar rules, clearly expressing the intended action and reason.

the fritters were

He turned off the flame because he was too roasted to eat.

The sentence is incorrect. It lacks pronoun clarity. The pronoun "he" could refer to either the person who turned off the flame or the food being roasted, creating ambiguity in the sentence.

he was

He turned off the flame because it were too roasted to eat.

The sentence is incorrect as the pronoun "it" refers to something unspecified. Without proper context, it might imply the food being roasted, but it’s not clear. Moreover, the verb "were" is in the wrong tense. To make the sentence clearer and grammatically correct, replace "it" with a specific noun, such as "the meat" or "the dish," and "were" with "was." This will bring clarity and ensure the correct tense is used.

it were
