Ingredients
- 1 bunch Kale
- 1 bunch Spinach
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and dry the kale and spinach thoroughly. Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces, discarding the thick stems. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg until fully beaten.
Step 3
In a separate shallow dish, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
Step 4
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil covers the bottom of the skillet generously, adding more if necessary.
Step 5
Dip each piece of kale and spinach into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Coat the egg-dipped greens in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated greens in the hot oil, frying in batches. Fry for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried greens from the skillet and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining greens until all are cooked.
Step 10
Serve immediately for the best crispiness. Enjoy your Paleo Crispy Fried Greens as a delicious appetizer or side dish!
