Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium courgettes (zucchini)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the courgettes thoroughly and slice them into approximately 1/4 inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and almond milk until well combined.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of courgette sizzles slightly upon contact.
Step 5
Dip each courgette slice into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring the slice is fully coated.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated courgettes in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the fried courgettes and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately to maintain that coveted crispness!
