3. In heavy 12-inch skillet, heat canola oil on medium-high until hot but not smoking.
4. Meanwhile, dredge 5 tomato slices in flour, then egg, letting excess drip off. Dredge in panko, patting so crumbs adhere. Carefully add breaded tomatoes to hot oil. Reduce heat to medium. Fry 3 to 4 minutes or until deep golden brown on both sides, turning over once. With slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to wire rack to drain. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Repeat breading, frying and draining with remaining tomato slices and breading.

Sweet Potato Bacon Fries

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes, cut into matchsticks about the width of your pinky finger
8 oz bacon (do not use think cut)

Directions
Preheat oven to 425F. Prepare a cookie sheet with Silpat or parchment paper.
Slice each piece of bacon in half, lengthwise and then in thirds, widthwise, so there will be 6 strips cut from 1 piece of bacon. Wrap a strip of bacon around a matchstick sweet potato. Place on baking sheet. Repeat until all the bacon is gone. If you have left over sweet potatoes, feel free to put them on the cookie sheet as well, as they will bake nicely in all the rendered bacon fat.
Bake for 25 minutes until the sweet potatoes feel soft. Turn the oven to broil and let the tops get crispy, 2 minutes or so but careful to watch as they will burn easily.
Serve immediately.

Thoroughly coat the grill grates with nonstick spray or oil.

Been on a Keto diet for a few years, I don't do the keto breads or any of that, for me I find it better to just do without.

 

I'm on carnivore right now. A few friends on keto asked what the difference was. I said "carnivore is keto without the little sugar veggies and carbs they get. So keto for ppl who aren't bitches" lol

 

Any more recipes all you good folk?!.........
