In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, egg, and oat flour. Mix well to combine and ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Use your hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley, distributing it evenly throughout the mixture.
Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork patties to the skillet, making sure there’s a slight space between each patty to allow even cooking.
Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on one side, or until they are golden brown and have a firm texture.
Flip the patties and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes on the other side, ensuring the pork is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the savory pork patties hot, accompanied by your choice of sides such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
