Eggplant fries
Eggplant Fries are a low-carb alternative to traditional potato fries. Made from sliced eggplant coated in a seasoned breading, they are baked or fried until crispy and golden. They provide a unique flavor and are a great way to incorporate more vegetables into the diet.
Preparation[edit]
While there are many variations of eggplant fries, here's a basic ketogenic-friendly version using almond flour for the breading.
Ingredients[edit]
- 1 medium eggplant
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or avocado oil (for frying or brushing)
Instructions[edit]
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) if baking.
- Peel the eggplant and cut into fry-shaped strips.
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each eggplant strip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the almond flour mixture.
- If baking: Place the coated eggplant strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush lightly with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- If frying: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggplant strips until golden, then place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serving[edit]
Serve with a dipping sauce of choice, such as marinara sauce, aioli, or a keto-friendly ranch dip.
