Ingredients
-
1 large eggplant

2 eggs
-
1 cup almond flour (or crushed pork rinds)
-
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
Olive oil spray
Instructions
-
Wash and dry the eggplant. Cut into fry-shaped strips.
-
Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 20 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs. In another bowl, mix almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Dip each eggplant fry in egg, then coat in the flour mixture.
-
For oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Place fries on a lined baking sheet. Spray with olive oil. Bake 20–25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
-
For air fryer: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Place fries in a single layer in basket. Spray lightly with olive oil. Air fry 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway.
-
Serve hot with ranch, marinara, or your favorite keto dip.
Notes
-
Don’t skip salting the eggplant first; it helps remove extra water for crispier fries.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days. Reheat in air fryer for best texture.
-
Freeze raw coated fries on a tray, then cook straight from frozen.
