Keto-Friendly Fried Windmills

Ingredients:

For the “Windmill” Bites:

1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound boneless chicken or tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces
For Frying:

Avocado oil or coconut oil for frying
For the “Dipping Wind” Sauce:

1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, mix together almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This will be your “windmill” coating mixture.
  2. Dip each piece of chicken or tofu into the almond flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Heat the avocado oil or coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Carefully place the coated chicken or tofu pieces into the hot oil. Cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; you might need to fry in batches.
  5. While the “windmills” are frying, prepare the “Dipping Wind” sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
  6. Once the “windmills” are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  7. Serve the “fried windmills” with the “Dipping Wind” sauce on the side.
