Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (gluten-free if desired)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup almond flour or coconut flour
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt.
