6-8 slices

3 net carbs per slice

Salty, tangy with a crispy golden brown Parm crust. My low carb fried green tomatoes are a super nice addition to a Sunday morning breakfast but you have to serve it fresh off the pan.

Here is a video version if you are interested on my method: https://youtu.be/xZvCw7mlFhk

Ingredients:

• One – two large slightly pink green tomato 6 slices
• 2 TBSP almond flour, carbalose or lupin flour
• 2 egg whites beaten
• 2 TBSP freshly grated parmesan cheese
• (Sprinkle Parm works well too)
• ¼ cup pork rinds finely crushed
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• 1 TBSP chopped parsley (optional)
• Large pinch of fresh ground pepper
• Salt
• Refined coconut oil for frying or healthy oil of your choice

Directions:

1. Slice tomatoes into ⅜” thick slices
2. Beat egg whites in a medium bowl
3. In a separate bowl mix flour, parmesan cheese, pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper until well combined.
4. Sprinkle salt over the sliced tomato surface.
5. Dip the tomato slices into the egg whites.
6. Dip tomato slices into the Parm/pork rind mixture, pressing in as you go and reserve battered tomato slices on a plate or platter.
7. Preheat oil to medium heat in a non stick saucepan.
8. Fry each side of the tomato to golden brown (about 2-4 minutes per side)
9. Rest on a raised baking rack to firm up.
10. Serve as is or with a fresh lemon aioli sauce.
11. Salt and pepper to taste.
