Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Thick-cut ham steak
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 2 Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by patting the ham steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Once dry, cut the ham steak into 4 equal portions.
In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the almond milk until well combined.
Dip each piece of ham in the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, then dredge in the coconut flour mixture. Press the flour into the ham lightly to make sure it sticks.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the coated ham pieces to the skillet.
Fry the ham pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be cautious to avoid overcrowding the pan, fry in batches if necessary.
Once cooked, transfer the crispy fried ham to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish the crispy fried ham with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
