If you're on a grain-free diet and want to bread your vegetables, fish, or meats before frying or grilling, use organic coconut flour instead of wheat flour. Here's how to make coconut flour-breaded eggplant parmesan. you can also fry thin fillets of fish this way, shrimp and prawns, or thinly sliced round vegetables of any type, if you like the taste of fried vegetables or meats parmesan style.
Slice an eggplant into thin wheels, but don't peel the eggplant. You can do the same with any vegetable that can be sliced into thin wheel shapes, including onions, squash, beets, turnips, or carrots. Have available melted coconut oil for frying, about two tablespoons of coconut oil per large frying pan.
First beat two large eggs in one bowl. Slice your eggplant in thin rounds. In another bowl mix 1/2 cup organic coconut flour with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each thin round slice of eggplant into the beaten eggs. Then place each wheel of eggplant in the flour and Parmesan cheese mix. After you coat each thin wheel of eggplant.
Fry the eggplant or any other vegetable you've coated with egg and coconut flour for about 3 to 5 minutes depending upon how thinly the vegetable is sliced. They should be fried on each side until golden brown.
You can do this with fish, shrimp, or meat, but used fish, shrimp, or meat already cooked through so all you have to do is fry the dipped vegetable or other object 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. You can also do this with thinly sliced potatoes or other root vegetables as well as eggplant, zucchini, or various types of squash.
If your fried wheels of vegetables or other foods are oily, put a paper towel on a plate and let the oil drain. Serve warm. You can pour warm Marinara sauce over the eggplant after it has been fried and serve as a tomato-based sauce with an additional sprinkling of grated Parmesan on top of the Marinara sauce. Or serve with no sauce and eat the 'wheels' as a side dish. Serves 2 to 4 people from one large eggplant sliced in thin rounds.
