Ingredients

12 ounces Spam (or a Paleo-friendly ham substitute)
0.5 cup Coconut flour
0.25 cup Arrowroot powder
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder
0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
2 large Eggs
0.25 cup Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the Spam (or Paleo-friendly ham substitute) into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the coconut flour, arrowroot powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Dip each Spam slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are coated.

Step 5

Then, dip each egg-coated Spam slice into the coconut flour mixture, pressing slightly so the coating adheres well.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

Step 7

Carefully lay the coated Spam slices into the skillet. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Fry each slice for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the Spam slices from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately for optimum crispiness, pairing with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or side dish.
