Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 medium Bell peppers
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Start by washing all vegetables thoroughly. Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, cut the cauliflower into small florets, and slice the bell peppers into strips.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Let it heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Dip each vegetable piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge it into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to coat all sides.
Carefully place the coated vegetables into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fried vegetables and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining vegetables.
Serve the low carb crispy fried vegetables immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or as a delicious side dish.
