Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 4 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper powder
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to prevent cracking and to make peeling easier.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the eggs boil gently for 10 minutes for fully hard-boiled eggs.
Step 3
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice water.
Step 4
Once the eggs are finished boiling, use a slotted spoon to transfer them into the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking and make peeling easier.
Step 5
Peel the eggs carefully and set them aside on a plate.
Step 6
In a small saucepan or skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook for 30 seconds until they release their aroma.
Step 7
Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, paprika, and black pepper. Stir the spices for 15-20 seconds to combine and toast lightly.
Step 8
Roll the peeled boiled eggs gently in the spiced oil until fully coated, ensuring the spices stick to the eggs. Heat for another 1-2 minutes to warm the eggs slightly.
Step 9
Transfer the spiced eggs to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy these Keto-friendly spiced eggs as a snack, breakfast, or side dish!
