Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium courgettes (zucchini)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Wash the courgettes thoroughly and slice them into approximately 1/4 inch thick rounds.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and almond milk until well combined.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of courgette sizzles slightly upon contact.
Dip each courgette slice into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring the slice is fully coated.
Carefully place the coated courgettes in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the fried courgettes and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve immediately to maintain that coveted crispness!
