Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (paleo-friendly)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder. Mix together to ensure even distribution of the baking powder.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Stir until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick, consistent batter forms.
Step 4
Using your hands, roll the batter into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a plate. You should be able to make about 16-20 balls, depending on size.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Step 6
Carefully place the balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the balls for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the fried balls from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or as an accompaniment to your favorite paleo dish.
