Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Tilapia fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Dip each tilapia fillet first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Next, dredge the fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing the flour firmly onto both sides to ensure a good coating.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the coated tilapia fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with olive oil to help them crisp during cooking.
Air fry the tilapia fillets for 7-8 minutes, then carefully flip them over, spray the tops again lightly with olive oil, and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the tilapia fillets from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your crispy Paleo Air Fried Tilapia!
