04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 1 cup almond flour
11 - 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 - 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
13 - 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip each avocado wedge in egg, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Arrange on prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
03 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
04 - Pat steak cubes dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer and sear 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned while remaining pink inside. Remove and set aside.
05 - Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Return steak bites to the skillet, toss in the garlic butter sauce, and top with fresh parsley.
06 - Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, shave zucchinis into thin ribbons. Toss ribbons with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
07 - Arrange garlic butter steak bites on serving plates with avocado fries and zucchini ribbons on the side.
