Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes into ¼-1/2 inch slices and dry them by pressing between a paper towel. Mix the almond flour, pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder and parsley together in a bowl. Beat the eggs and coconut milk together in a separate bowl.
- Dip the tomatoes into the egg mixture and then transfer into the breading mixture. Shake off any excess breading and place sheet pan.
Frying
- Once all the tomatoes are coated, heat a cast iron skillet to medium/high heat and add the avocado oil, around 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of oil. Fry the tomatoes in batches for 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels so any excess oil can drain off. Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a mason jar or bowl.
- Serve immeditaly with the dipping sauce.
Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees. Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer, cooking in batches. Cook for4 minutes per side, flip and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
Oven
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tomatoes in a single layer.Preheat the oven to 425F. Spray the tomatoes with oilve oil cooking spray. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
Notes
- I love the Epic brand pork rhinds.
- Slice the tomatoes 1/4-1/2 inches thick. I recommend not cutting them super thin because they will get soggy really quick.
- A few minutes on each side will do the trick. Don't overcook.
- Make sure not to flip them over and over. I like to only flip them once. This will ensure that all that crispy coating stays in place and doesn't fall off.
- Cook them in batches and don't over crowd them in the skillet.
