Ingredients
- 1. 2 large zucchini 2. 1 cup cauliflower rice (prepared from one head of cauliflower) 3. 1/4 cup coconut flour 4. 1/4 cup almond flour 5. 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 6. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 7. 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric 8. 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika 9. 1/2 cup coconut oil, for frying 10. 1/3 cup almond milk 11. 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 12. 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the tempura batter by whisking together coconut flour, almond flour, sea salt, ground black pepper, ground turmeric, smoked paprika, and almond milk in a medium sized bowl. Mix until smooth and slightly thick. Set aside.
- Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Slice each zucchini lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick planks.
- Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the prepared tempura batter and carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry for 2 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a separate pan, heat a little more coconut oil and add the prepared cauliflower rice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- To assemble, spoon cauliflower rice into the center of each zucchini plank, shaping it like a small boat. Arrange these on a serving dish, garnished with chopped green onions for an aromatic touch.
