Ingredients
- 20 pieces large green olives, pitted
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Step 2
In another small bowl, beat the egg until the yolk and white are fully combined.
Step 3
Pat the green olives dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps the coating adhere better.
Step 4
Dip each olive into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated olive into the almond flour mixture. Roll it around to fully coat it with the dry ingredients. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a small frying pan or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C). You can use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy or test with a small piece of coating; it'll sizzle if ready.
Step 7
Carefully add the coated olives into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once fried, remove the olives from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried olives warm as a delectable low-carb appetizer or snack.
