Ingredients
- 12 pieces Zucchini flowers
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by gently cleaning the zucchini flowers. Remove any dirt and insects, and then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until blended.
Step 4
Taking one flower at a time, gently dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Immediately transfer the egg-coated flower into the almond flour mixture, gently pressing the mixture over the flower to coat it evenly on all sides. Set aside and repeat with all the flowers.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 7
Carefully place 4-5 coated zucchini flowers into the hot oil, frying them in batches. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried flowers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the Keto Fried Zucchini Flowers immediately while warm and crispy, with a sprinkle of extra grated Parmesan if desired.
