Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (boneless)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl or plate, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
Dip each pork chop first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Next, dredge the pork chop in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure an even coating.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated pork chops and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.
Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reads 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the crispy fried pork with your choice of low-carb sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
