Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Kale leaves
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the kale and spinach thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
Remove the tough stems from the kale and chop the leaves into medium-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, then mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Working in batches, dip the kale and spinach leaves first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat them thoroughly in the flour and cheese mixture.
Once the oil is hot, place the coated greens into the pan. Fry them for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried greens from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Crispy Fried Greens immediately while they're hot and enjoy the crunchy, flavorful bites as a snack or as a side dish alongside your favorite keto meal.
