Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pumpkin
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 100 milliliters Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and deseed the pumpkin. Cut it into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.
Dip each pumpkin slice into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the egg-dipped pumpkin slices thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated pumpkin slices in the pan in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the pumpkin slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried pumpkin slices onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the keto crispy fried pumpkin warm as a savory snack or side dish. Enjoy!
