Ingredients
- 250 grams tempeh
- 50 grams almond flour
- 30 grams parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 ml coconut oil (or avocado oil)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the tempeh into thin slices, approximately 0.5 cm thick.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
Step 4
Dip each slice of tempeh into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Dredge the egg-coated tempeh slices in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently so the mixture sticks to the tempeh.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, gently place the coated tempeh slices into the skillet.
Step 8
Fry the tempeh for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the tempeh from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried tempe right away, while still warm and crunchy.
