Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices thinly sliced cooked ham
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Pat the ham slices dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the coating adhere better.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg and almond milk together until well blended. Set aside.
In another shallow bowl, combine coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, whisking until evenly mixed.
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
Dip each ham slice first in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the coconut flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
Carefully lay the coated ham slices in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the ham from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Paleo crispy fried ham immediately while hot and enjoy with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides or as a standalone snack.
