Ingredients
- 4 pieces veal cutlets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pound the veal cutlets to an even thickness if needed, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Step 5
Dip each veal cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Next, coat the veal cutlet in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breading. Ensure both sides are evenly coated. Repeat with the rest of the cutlets.
Step 7
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, add two of the breaded veal cutlets. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the skillet and repeat the browning process with the remaining veal cutlets.
Step 10
Once all cutlets are browned, transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-10 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
Step 11
Serve immediately with a fresh lemon wedge or your choice of compliant Whole30 side dish.
