Ingredients
- 3 Green tomatoes
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay them out on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt to help draw out some moisture. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, then pat them dry with another paper towel.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients together until well combined.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully blended.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking, as this will ensure a crisp coating on the tomatoes.
Step 5
Dip each tomato slice first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's well coated, and then into the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the flour sticks.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated tomato slices in the hot oil. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Once fried, remove the tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a platter lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own as a delicious low-carb snack or appetizer.
