Grain Free Zucchini Friti

Have you ever had those lovely breaded and fried cuts of zucchini at a restaurant? Yum! Well I am bringing the restaurant to your house, and taking the bread out of it.

These were delish with some sugar free marinara sauce on for dipping! ( Yes pasta sauce often has sugar in it. Look at labels before you buy)

Note: After looking at the ONE picture I took of these before we devoured them all, I am wishing I would have made them more presentable… oh well. Eat up!

You need:

1 Zucchini squash

1 cup blanched almond flour

2 eggs

1 tbsp water

Salt to taste

OR

2 tsp Cavanders Greek seasoning

Frying oil ( I use a mixture of olive and coconut)

 

1) Cover a large skillet with oil to about an inch. Heat the oil to 350.

2) Cut the zucchini into thin fry-like strips about 2-3 in long.

3) In a small bowel, whisk the eggs and water till smooth

4) In a small bowel , combine almond flour and seasoning, mix well

5) Dredge the zucchini in the egg a few at a time and then dredge in the almond flour mixture. Do this until all are covered.

6) Place the zucchini in the skillet. Watch at all times. Turn the zucchini after 2-3 minutes or until the one side is golden brown. Cook on the other side until it is golden brown. You can do this in several turns of zucchini if you have a lot.

7) When zucchini are done, take out and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to soak up the extra oil.

8) serve as is or with warm sugar free marinara sauce. I like Delallo.. $3.99 at sprouts!
