Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium green tomatoes
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Slice each green tomato into about 1/4-inch thick slices and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk to create the wet mixture.
Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture.
Coat each tomato slice thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, gently pressing the coating onto the tomato. Set aside on a plate until all slices are coated.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tomato slices to the skillet without overcrowding. You may need to fry in batches.
Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried tomato slices from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Fried Green Tomatoes as is or with your favorite dipping sauce!
