Ingredients
- 24 ounces clean-sourced oysters
- ½ cup tapioca flour or arrowroot flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp. cayenne (optional)
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 pastured eggs
- ¼ cup avocado oil + ¼ cup coconut oil or pastured tallow (you want 1” of oil in the pan)
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Rinse shucked oysters and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the arrowroot, coconut flour, sea salt and spices.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
- Add fats to a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Bring to 325 F.
- Dip oysters in eggs, then coat well in the flour mixture.
- Place coated oysters in the preheated oil. Be careful not to crowd the pan.
- Cook until golden. Then flip and cook until the outside is crisp and lightly brown. Oysters should be cooked to an internal temperature of 140 F to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
