Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork with sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, dried sage, garlic powder, onion powder, ground fennel seeds, ground coriander, and red pepper flakes if desired.
Gently mix the spices into the pork using clean hands or a spoon, taking care not to overmix to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a 3-inch diameter, 1/2-inch thick patty.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add coconut or avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, place patties in the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the first side is golden brown.
Flip and cook the other side for another 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the patties are cooked through.
Transfer patties to a plate lined with paper towels if desired to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with paleo-friendly sides like sautéed greens or sliced avocado for a nutritious, balanced breakfast.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer preservation.
