Calçots rebozados

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

batter mix

🥗Healthier: homemade batter

💰Cheaper: self-made flour-water mix

Homemade options can reduce preservatives.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: panko breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Panko adds crunch while crushed crackers are often cheaper.

Trim the roots and remove the outer leaves of the calçots, leaving only the white part.

In a bowl, beat one egg until frothy.

Add flour and a pinch of salt to the egg and mix well to create a batter.

Gradually add water to the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency.

Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a deep pan until hot.

Dip each calçot into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Carefully place the battered calçots into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.

Remove the fried calçots and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve the calçots on a platter with a side of calçot sauce.
