Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Anchovies
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 240 ml Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the anchovies under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure the anchovies are dry to allow for optimal coating and frying.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the dry coating.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. This will serve as the wet coating for the anchovies.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. You need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan to ensure even frying.
Dip each anchovy into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the almond flour mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated anchovies in the frying pan. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the anchovies for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy.
Remove the anchovies from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the coating and frying process with any remaining anchovies.
Serve the keto crispy fried anchovies warm, accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over them immediately before eating.
