Ingredients:

1 medium eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
2 large eggs
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking oil for frying (avocado oil or coconut oil works well)

Instructions:

Start by preparing the eggplant. Peel it and slice it into rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Place the eggplant slices on paper towels and sprinkle them with a little salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Pat them dry with more paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, beat the two large eggs.
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip each eggplant slice into the beaten eggs, coating both sides.
Next, dredge the eggplant slice in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture, pressing it gently to adhere.
Fry the coated eggplant slices in the hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to fry them in batches.
Remove the fried eggplant slices and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve your Keto and Low-Carb Fried Eggplant Medallions hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
