Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the dry coating mixture.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined to create the wet coating mixture.
Prepare your chosen protein or vegetable (pork, chicken, or vegetables) by patting it dry with a paper towel to help the coating stick better.
Dip the protein or vegetables into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Transfer the protein or vegetables to the bowl with the dry coating mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres evenly on all sides.
If desired, for a thicker crust, repeat the dipping process by coating the item once more in the egg mixture and then the dry mixture.
Place the coated protein or vegetables on a plate or baking sheet and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the coating to set.
Cook using your preferred method: bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 20-25 minutes until crispy, pan-fry in a shallow layer of oil over medium heat until golden brown, or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or accompanying dishes.
