Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set them aside.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are fully blended.
Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating. Place on a plate and repeat with remaining slices.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.
Add the coated zucchini slices in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Using a slotted spatula, transfer the fried zucchini slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with remaining zucchini slices, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.
Serve immediately with your choice of Whole30 compliant dipping sauce or enjoy on their own.
