Place the veal cutlets between two pieces of parchment paper and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, lemon zest, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip each veal cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then press them into the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess coating.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded veal cutlets in the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked veal schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzel.
