Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (paleo-friendly)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder. Mix together to ensure even distribution of the baking powder.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick, consistent batter forms.
Using your hands, roll the batter into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a plate. You should be able to make about 16-20 balls, depending on size.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Carefully place the balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the balls for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried balls from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or as an accompaniment to your favorite paleo dish.
