Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cheese curds
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Tapioca starch
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the cheese curds in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm them up. This makes them easier to coat and fry.
Step 2
Set up a breading station: beat the eggs in a small bowl, and in another bowl, mix the almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Remove the cheese curds from the freezer. Dip each cheese curd into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 4
Coat each egg-covered cheese curd with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Step 6
Carefully add the coated cheese curds to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the cheese curds for 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cheese curds from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the paleo fried cheese curds hot, with your choice of paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
