Low Sugar Almond Flour Fish and Chips
Crispy, golden, and deeply satisfying, this oven-baked take on a classic pub favorite delivers everything you want from fish and chips without a drop of added sugar hiding in the coating. Traditional battered fish can be a minefield — many store-bought breadings and restaurant batters sneak in sweeteners you'd never expect. Here, almond flour seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika does all the heavy lifting, creating a crust that bakes up beautifully firm and golden on a wire rack in a hot oven. The cod fillets come out flaky and tender inside with real crunch on the outside, while the smoked paprika-dusted potato wedges roast alongside them until caramelized and crisp. Everything cooks on a single baking sheet, which means less cleanup and a dinner that actually comes together at the same time. A squeeze of lemon and a scatter of fresh parsley at the end brighten the whole plate and make it feel genuinely restaurant-worthy. This is the kind of weeknight meal that proves eating without added sugar doesn't mean eating without joy.
