- 1 teaspoon Onion powder

Instructions
Wash and slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until well blended.
Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
