Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the coating adhere better.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk to create an egg wash.
Dip one pork chop at a time into the egg wash, ensuring it's completely coated, and then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press the almond flour mixture onto the pork chop so it adheres well. Repeat the process for all pork chops.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in batches.
Fry the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Let the pork chops rest for about 3-5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the pork chops hot with your favorite low-carb side dish and enjoy!
