Ingredients

  • 1 medium eggplant
  • ⅔ cup almond flour
  • ⅔ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • ½ cup pork rinds ground

  • Optional Keto Marinara Sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and slice the eggplant to your desired thickness. Mine were between ¼-1/2 inch thick.
  2. Place the eggplant on paper towels, then add some salt over the tops. Allow to sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the breading.
  3. Add the almond flour, parmesan cheese, pork rinds, parsley, basil, garlic salt and ground black pepper to a mixing bowl.
  4. Whisk together until well combined and any lumps are broken up.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, add in the eggs and beat them.
  6. Take each piece of the eggplant and dip it into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
  7. Dip the eggplant into the breading mixture and lightly coat all sides. Don’t press into the breading, you’re not looking for a thick breading.
  8. Repeat the process until all slices are breaded, then set aside.
  9. Heat a large skillet to medium and add in the oil. Once the oil is hot (test with a little piece of the breading), fry the eggplant for a few minutes on each side.
  10. Once cooked, set the eggplant on paper towels to drain some of the oil.
  11. Serve with (optional) Keto Marinara Sauce on the side or enjoy all on their own.
