Oven-Fried Zucchini with Garlic Aioli

For the zucchini:

• 2 Tbsp. olive oil

• 3 zucchinis cut into 1/4” slices

• 1 cup ground almonds

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 3 eggs

• ½ cup organic flour

• Salt and pepper

For the aioli:

• 4 egg yolks

• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

• 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

• Few leaves fresh basil (or herb of choice)

• 1 clove garlic

• 1 1/2 cup avocado oil

Instructions:

1. Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil. Place in a 450-degree oven to heat.

2. In a bowl, combine ground almonds and Parmesan cheese. In a separate bowl, crack and whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, place the flour. 

3. Working with a few zucchini pieces at a time, add them to the flour to coat — shake off any excess. Dunk into eggs, then dredge in the almond and Parmesan mixture. 

4. Place the zucchini slices onto the hot baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. 

5. Once golden, remove from the oven and transfer to a plate. Serve with garlic aioli.

6. Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, and basil in a blender. Turn to high to emulsify. 

7. While blending, slowly drizzle in olive oil. 

8. When the mixture is thick and smooth, transfer to a dish and serve with zucchini.
