Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Green tomatoes
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by slicing the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay them out on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt to help draw out some moisture. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, then pat them dry with another paper towel.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients together until well combined.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully blended.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking, as this will ensure a crisp coating on the tomatoes.
Dip each tomato slice first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's well coated, and then into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the flour sticks.
Carefully place the coated tomato slices in the hot oil. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once fried, remove the tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a platter lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own as a delicious low-carb snack or appetizer.
