Low Carb Fish Sticks with Almond Flour and Coconut
Servings 4 servings
Grocery store fish sticks have nothing on homemade, especially when they're coated in a crispy mixture of almond flour and unsweetened coconut. Best of all, these low carb fish sticks take less than 30 minutes to prepare, so they're easy enough to make any night of the week! {Paleo, keto & gluten-free}
Ingredients
- 1 lb white fish (i.e. haddock, cod, etc.)
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut fish into pieces that resemble fish sticks.
- In one shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut, paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat an egg.
- One at a time, dip the fish sticks into the egg mixture and flip until well coated. Next, transfer the egg-coated fish stick to the dry mixture. Flip until both sides are well coated with the almond, coconut and spice mixture. Continue until all of the fish sticks have been completed.
- Place fish sticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Turn up the oven to 400 degrees F and bake for five more minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Pat the fish with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, which may prevent the breading from adhering well.
- Coconut shreds and flakes can both be used in this recipe, but I recommend using unsweetened coconut to avoid any extra added sugar. However, I have heard from readers that this recipe works great with sweetened coconut flakes, too!
- For a finer coating, pulse the coconut shreds in a food processor.
