Ingredients
- 4 medium green tomatoes
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice each green tomato into about 1/4-inch thick slices and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk to create the wet mixture.
Step 4
Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture.
Step 5
Coat each tomato slice thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, gently pressing the coating onto the tomato. Set aside on a plate until all slices are coated.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tomato slices to the skillet without overcrowding. You may need to fry in batches.
Step 8
Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the fried tomato slices from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Fried Green Tomatoes as is or with your favorite dipping sauce!
