Enjoy low carb crispy baked fish sticks!
When you think of fish sticks, you probably remember eating these a time or two when you were a kid. While it’s definitely a kid-friendly option that will likely leave a smile on their face, it’s also a meal that adults can appreciate, too! Check out this keto-friendly recipe that is simple to make and absolutely delicious!
Before we begin, forget everything you know about frozen fish sticks. This recipe isn’t about that! Instead, it’s a from-scratch recipe that tastes much better than anything you’ll find in the frozen food aisle. Plus, most of the stuff you can buy in a box is processed and loaded with carbs that your body doesn’t need. This recipe relies on a simple mixture of coconut flour, pork rinds, and a bit of salt and pepper to do the trick. You won’t believe the delicious flavor you’ll experience with this basic mixture!

They will give your fish sticks a tasty crunch and a nice salty flavor that you are going to go crazy for.
In addition to those awesome pork rinds, this recipe only requires a handful of simple ingredients and about twenty-five minutes of your time. That’s it!
