Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Green zucchini
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini. Trim off the ends, then slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Make sure the oil covers the bottom of the pan evenly.
Place the zucchini rounds into the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they start to soften and lightly brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
Using the bottom of a glass or a flat kitchen utensil, gently press each zucchini round to flatten slightly. Be careful not to press too hard; they should still hold their shape.
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining avocado oil as needed to ensure there is enough for frying.
Place the flattened zucchini rounds back into the skillet and fry for another 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Transfer the cooked zucchini tostones onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil, then sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper while they are still hot.
Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly dip, such as guacamole or aioli, or enjoy them on their own as a crunchy, low-carb treat.
