Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh sardines

- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sardines under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each sardine into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then roll it in the almond flour mixture to coat all sides.
Step 5
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Add the sardines to the skillet in a single layer, not overcrowding, and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the sardines from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy fried sardines warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
