Ingredients

Coconut Chicken Tenders:

2 tbsp coconut oil

1.5-2 lb chicken tenderloins (12 pieces) thawed if previously frozen

⅓ cup coconut flour

1 tsp salt

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

2 eggs beaten

1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut

Maple Mustard Dipping Sauce (optional):

2 tbsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp water

1 tbsp Sweetener of choice (calories differ)

½ tsp maple extract

1. Preheat oven to 400. Put a few blobs of coconut oil on a baking stone or cookie sheet. Put it in the oven to melt and get hot.

2. Prepare the ingredients to coat the chicken. In one bowl beat the eggs. In a second bowl mix the coconut flour with the salt and pepper. In a third bowl put the shredded coconut.

3. To coat the chicken: Coat a piece of chicken with the coconut flour, then dip it in the egg, then coat with the shredded coconut. After that put it on a second baking sheet while you coat the rest of the pieces.

4. When all the pieces are coated remove the hot baking stone from the oven, spread out the coconut oil if necessary, and carefully put the chicken on it. (Preheating the baking sheet helps the chicken get a crisper coating). Put it back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken over and put a few more blobs of coconut oil on the baking sheet. At this point my chicken was 150. Turn the broiler on high and put the chicken back in the oven. Do not leave the chicken unattended. I sat on the floor in front of the oven to watch it brown. When the first side was brown I flipped it one more time to brown the other side. It is worth the extra flipping to get a crispy coating. It only takes 2-3 minutes per side.

These Air Fryer Coconut Macaroons are a quick and easy treat that's perfect for coconut lovers. They come out perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a delightful hint of sweetness.

Ingredients: 2 cups shredded coconut. 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 egg whites. Pinch of salt. 1/4 cup powdered sugar optional, for dusting. Cooking spray for greasing.

Instructions: For 5 minutes, heat your air fryer up to 325F 160C. Shred the coconut and mix it with the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix everything together well. Add the egg whites and a pinch of salt to a different bowl. Beat them together until stiff peaks form. Mix the egg whites into the coconut mixture slowly until they are fully combined. To keep things from sticking, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray. Place spoonfuls of the coconut mixture on the parchment paper in the air fryer basket. You can use a cookie scoop for this. When the air fryer is hot, set it to 325F 160C. Cook the macaroons for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the outside is golden brown. Take the macaroons out of the air fryer and set them on a wire rack to cool. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on the cooled macaroons before serving if you want to. Have fun with your tasty air-fried coconut macaroons!
