Today I was craving Chick-fil-A nuggets SOOO BAD but I overcame it and went for a healthier substitute instead. Spoiler Alert: it wasn't anything like Chick-fil-A... but it did turn out pretty tasty. *small wins*
Sweet Potato Fries
- 1 sweet potato, cut ~2 in. long slices
- Olive oil for tossing
- Kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika to taste
- Olive oil for tossing
- Kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika to taste
1. Set oven to 425 degrees and then start slicing sweet potato into slices that are about 2 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide.
2. Place sweet potato slices in bowl and pour just enough olive oil on top to make sure all slices are coated. Sprinkle some salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder and toss all together.
3. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and place sweet potato slices on top. Make sure that none are overlapping and place into oven. Cook for about 20 minutes, flipping the fries once or twice to make sure they are cooked evenly.
Baked Breaded Shrimp
- 1/2 lb shrimp
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup milk (or coconut/almond milk)
- 1/3 cup panko
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup milk (or coconut/almond milk)
- 1/3 cup panko
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1. Since I was already cooking the sweet potato fries, my oven was already set at 425 degrees. If not, set it now.
2. Pull three bowls out. In the first mix your flour and salt and pepper (I added a bit of Tony Chachere's as well). In the second bowl add the egg whites and milk. In the third, mix together the panko and breadcrumbs.
3. First coat the shrimp in the flour, then dip in the egg white mixture and then toss and coat shrimp with panko and breadcrumbs.
4. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and then place shrimp on top. Put baking sheet in oven and cook shrimp for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
