Low Carb Bread Coating

You basically just grind almonds into a coarse crumb using a food processor, then mix them with some spices (like smoked paprika, salt, and pepper!) Then you’ll just use them in place of bread crumbs when breading things for a low carb yet way delicious alternative.

  • 1 cup almonds 143 g
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese 50 g
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour 64 g, can sub all-purpose gluten-free flour
