Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium green tomatoes
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a dredging mixture.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk to make an egg wash.
Dip a tomato slice into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. Repeat with all tomato slices.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking.
Place tomato slices in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately for a crispy, savory treat.
