• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 100 grams almond flour
• 1 unit egg
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 as needed vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and parsley. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until well blended.

Step 4

Place the almond flour in another shallow dish.

Step 5

Form the beef mixture into small patties, about the size of a golf ball, and slightly flatten each ball into a croquette shape.

Step 6

Dip each croquette first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in almond flour.

Step 7

Heat remaining coconut oil and enough vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat for frying.

Step 8

Fry the croquettes in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the croquettes from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Beef Croquettes with a side salad or your favorite Whole30 compliant dipping sauce.
