• 2 large Eggs

• 4 wedges Lemon wedges
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 5

Dip each tilapia fillet first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Next, dredge the fillet in the almond flour mixture, pressing the flour firmly onto both sides to ensure a good coating.

Step 7

Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the coated tilapia fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.

Step 9

Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with olive oil to help them crisp during cooking.

Step 10

Air fry the tilapia fillets for 7-8 minutes, then carefully flip them over, spray the tops again lightly with olive oil, and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the tilapia fillets from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Step 13

Enjoy your crispy Paleo Air Fried Tilapia!
