Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces large green olives, pitted
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices.
In another small bowl, beat the egg until the yolk and white are fully combined.
Pat the green olives dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps the coating adhere better.
Dip each olive into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated olive into the almond flour mixture. Roll it around to fully coat it with the dry ingredients. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small frying pan or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C). You can use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy or test with a small piece of coating; it'll sizzle if ready.
Carefully add the coated olives into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once fried, remove the olives from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried olives warm as a delectable low-carb appetizer or snack.
