Ingredients
- 500 grams yam (Japanese or purple, preferably low-carb varieties like taro or konjac)
- 100 grams almond flour
- 100 grams parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large egg
- 250 ml coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the yam and slice it into thin wedges or sticks about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to create the dredging mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Step 4
Dip each yam piece first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (180°C) to ensure the yams fry properly.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated yam pieces into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried yams and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining yam pieces, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried yams hot as a side dish or snack, optionally with a keto-friendly dipping sauce.
