Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium zucchini
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 olive oil or avocado oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of seasonings.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the unsweetened almond milk until blended.
Step 4
Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then coat the slice with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating evenly.
Step 5
Set the coated zucchini slices on a plate and prepare to fry.
Step 6
Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of the almond flour mixture into the oil. If it sizzles, the oil is ready for frying.
Step 7
Place several zucchini slices in the skillet without overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Transfer cooked zucchini slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat with remaining zucchini slices.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried zucchini slices warm, with your choice of dipping sauce or as a delightful side to your favorite low carb meal.
