Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pork chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Brush each pork chop with olive oil on both sides.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Dredge each oil-coated pork chop into the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is completely covered. Press the mixture onto the pork chops to make sure it adheres well.
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place the breaded pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overlap them.
Cook the pork chops in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes. Turn them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Check the internal temperature of the pork chops to ensure they reach at least 145°F (63°C) for safety.
Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the air-fried pork chops with your favorite low-carb sides.
