Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Kale
- 1 bunch Spinach
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Rinse and dry the kale and spinach thoroughly. Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces, discarding the thick stems. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg until fully beaten.
In a separate shallow dish, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil covers the bottom of the skillet generously, adding more if necessary.
Dip each piece of kale and spinach into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the egg-dipped greens in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Carefully place the coated greens in the hot oil, frying in batches. Fry for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried greens from the skillet and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining greens until all are cooked.
Serve immediately for the best crispiness. Enjoy your Paleo Crispy Fried Greens as a delicious appetizer or side dish!
