Fried "Apples"
This tastes great by itself, on top of a "healthified" ice cream, "healthified" protein waffles or on top of a pork loin!
"HEALTHIFIED" FRIED "APPLES"
1 zucchini or jicama
2 TBS coconut oil OR butter
3 TBS Swerve OR Just Like Brown Sugar
1 TBS lemon or lime juice
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
Peel the jicama or zucchini, cut lengthwise into quarters (if using zucchini remove the seeds). Slice into "apple" slices or cubes.
Heat the butter over high heat in a medium skillet. When the butter has melted and has turned brown (not black). Stir in all the ingredients and cook on medium heat until the veggie is to desired consistency (the longer you cook it the softer it will be). Adjust the sweetener and cinnamon, if needed. Makes 4 servings.
NUTRITIONAL COMPARISON (per serving)
Traditional Fried Apples = 111 calories, 5.9g fat, 0.2g protein, 14 carbs, 1 fiber
