Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
Place the pork cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
Dip each pork cutlet into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the coated pork cutlets to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary, and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the fried cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb side dishes, such as a salad or roasted vegetables.
