Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 4
Ingredients
1 cup bryopsis algae, rinsed and chopped
1/2 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup cauliflower florets
1/4 cup chopped carrots
1/4 cup sliced zucchini
1/2 cup keto-friendly tempura batter mix
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
Grapeseed oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the bryopsis algae, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the tempura batter mix and almond milk until smooth.
Dip the vegetables into the batter, making sure they are evenly coated.
Heat the grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully drop the battered vegetables into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the vegetables from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
Serve the tempura immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Why It Works
The tempura batter is made with keto-friendly ingredients, so it is a great option for people who are following a ketogenic diet.
The grapeseed oil is a good choice for frying because it has a high smoke point and a neutral flavor.
The vegetables are cooked to perfection, so they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
