Beer Battered Deep Fried Avocado Slices

Not for Atkins Induction Phase.

These make a delicious, crispy, creamy low carb snack.

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces Michelob Ultra or other low carb beer
1 cup Carbalose low carb flour (you can order this low carb flour from http://www.netrition.com/ )
3/4 TBSP Paprika
2 Cloves of Garlic minced or 1 teaspoon minced garlic from a jar.

2 Ripe but firm Haas Avocados

INSTRUCTIONS

Using a wisk blend the first four ingredients in a bowl. Let sit for 2 hours.

Preheat your frying oil to 375-380 degrees (Fry Daddy's automatically heat to 385 in 15 miuntes).

Slice the avocados in half and then slice each half into 4 slices. Peel the wedges.

Dredge in the batter and fry in the hot oil until browned (you may want to dredge the slices in some of the Carbalose before battering - it helps the batter to stick better) - approximately 1.5-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on them while cooking, Carbolose tends to brown quicker than regular flour.

 Remove and place on papertowels to drain.

Serve with salsa for dipping. When you bite into these, the crunchy coating is amazing with the warm creamy advocao.
