Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium courgettes
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Wash and dry the courgettes. Trim the ends and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the coating.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each courgette slice first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then press both sides into the almond flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Set them aside on a plate.
Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. It's ready when a small piece of courgette dropped into the oil sizzles immediately.
Fry the coated courgette slices in batches, ensuring the pan is not overcrowded. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried courgette from the oil, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Crispy Fried Courgette hot, with a dipping sauce of choice if desired.
