Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Spam (or a Paleo-friendly ham substitute)
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.25 cup Arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Cut the Spam (or Paleo-friendly ham substitute) into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a shallow dish, mix together the coconut flour, arrowroot powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each Spam slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are coated.
Then, dip each egg-coated Spam slice into the coconut flour mixture, pressing slightly so the coating adheres well.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
Carefully lay the coated Spam slices into the skillet. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Fry each slice for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the Spam slices from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately for optimum crispiness, pairing with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or side dish.
