Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces pitted green olives
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the pitted green olives under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, beat the egg until fully blended.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Dip each olive into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully add the coated olives to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the olives for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried olives to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Allow the olives to cool slightly and serve warm as a snack or appetizer.
