Ingredients
- 2 medium courgette
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 whole large egg
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Slice the courgettes into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
Step 4
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 5
Dip each courgette slice into the beaten egg, coating it completely, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated courgette slices into the hot oil in the skillet, frying them in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
