Ingredients
- 500 grams Anchovies
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 240 ml Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the anchovies under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure the anchovies are dry to allow for optimal coating and frying.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the dry coating.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. This will serve as the wet coating for the anchovies.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. You need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan to ensure even frying.
Step 5
Dip each anchovy into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the almond flour mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated anchovies in the frying pan. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry the anchovies for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the anchovies from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the coating and frying process with any remaining anchovies.
Step 10
Serve the keto crispy fried anchovies warm, accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over them immediately before eating.
