Start by washing and preparing the vegetables. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Slice the zucchini and eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, psyllium husk powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Cajun seasoning, and mix well to form the coating mixture.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Heat the olive oil or coconut oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep to fry properly.
Dip each piece of vegetable first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well-coated, and then into the almond flour mixture, pressing slightly to adhere the coating firmly.
Carefully place the coated vegetables in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables from the oil and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining vegetables until all are fried.
Serve the Keto crispy fried vegetables immediately, garnished with lemon wedges for an added burst of flavor.
