Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well blended.
Dip each zucchini slice in the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat for all zucchini slices.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Working in batches, place zucchini slices in the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer cooked slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with remaining zucchini slices, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm as a snack or side dish.
