Ingredients

1/4 Kabocha
1/4 Cup Flour
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg beaten
2 tbsp Sparkling Water
1 1/2 tbsp Sweetener your preferred sweetener
1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients.
Cut 1/4 of the kabocha into thin slices about 1/2" thick. See pictures below on how we de-seed and cut the kabocha for this dish. Note - if you're having a difficult time cutting into the kabocha, throw the whole kabocha in the microwave for about 1 - 1.5 minutes.
Prepare batter by mixing flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, sparkling water, salt and sweetener.
Take a slice of kabocha, dip into batter mix and place onto a holding plate.
Pour cooking oil into a fry pan of choice and heat oil up to 375F. Once up to heat, reduce heat to medium low, carefully add coated kabocha slices and cook for 90 seconds until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 90 seconds until golden brown. Once done, transfer slices to oven rack and leave for about 1 minute (if you don’t have a oven rack, you can just place them on a plate with paper towels). Transfer to serving plate and enjoy!
