Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper powder
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to prevent cracking and to make peeling easier.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs boil gently for 10 minutes for fully hard-boiled eggs.
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice water.
Once the eggs are finished boiling, use a slotted spoon to transfer them into the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking and make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs carefully and set them aside on a plate.
In a small saucepan or skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook for 30 seconds until they release their aroma.
Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, paprika, and black pepper. Stir the spices for 15-20 seconds to combine and toast lightly.
Roll the peeled boiled eggs gently in the spiced oil until fully coated, ensuring the spices stick to the eggs. Heat for another 1-2 minutes to warm the eggs slightly.
Transfer the spiced eggs to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy these Keto-friendly spiced eggs as a snack, breakfast, or side dish!
