Air Fryer Paleo Fish Sticks

These paleo fish sticks are made with a simple breading of almond flour, tapioca flour, and spices. They're perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, and they're also a great way to use up leftover fish.

I've always been a fan of fish sticks, but I've never been a fan of the breading. It's usually too thick and greasy, and it often falls off the fish. I decided to create my own paleo fish sticks that were healthier and more flavorful than the traditional version. These fish sticks are made with a simple breading of almond flour, tapioca flour, and spices. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they're perfect for dipping in your favorite sauce.

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 12 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 pound cod fillets, cut into sticks
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Dip the fish sticks in the breading mixture, making sure to coat them evenly.
4. Place the fish sticks in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Why It Works

• The almond flour and tapioca flour create a crispy breading that doesn't fall off the fish.
• The spices add flavor to the breading without overpowering the fish.
• The air fryer cooks the fish sticks quickly and evenly, resulting in a perfectly cooked fish stick every time.
