Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium courgette
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 whole large egg
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice the courgettes into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Dip each courgette slice into the beaten egg, coating it completely, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered.
Carefully place the coated courgette slices into the hot oil in the skillet, frying them in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
