Ingredients
- 400 grams Tempeh
- 50 grams Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 200 milliliters Coconut or avocado oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the tempeh into thin rectangular pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick, for even cooking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, lightly coat each slice of tempeh with coconut flour by dredging the tempeh in a thin layer of the flour.
Step 4
Once coated with flour, dip each piece of tempeh into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.
Step 5
Heat the coconut or avocado oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Gently place the coated tempeh pieces into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the fried tempeh from the pan and let it drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot as a snack or side dish. Optionally, pair it with a low-carb dipping sauce for added flavor.
