Ingredients
- 4 slices thinly sliced cooked ham
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Pat the ham slices dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the coating adhere better.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg and almond milk together until well blended. Set aside.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, combine coconut flour, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, whisking until evenly mixed.
Step 4
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
Step 5
Dip each ham slice first in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the coconut flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.
Step 6
Carefully lay the coated ham slices in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the ham from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the Paleo crispy fried ham immediately while hot and enjoy with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides or as a standalone snack.
