Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops, bone-in
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg until well blended. Set aside.
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the herb crust mixture.
Dip each pork chop in the beaten egg, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
Press each egg-coated pork chop into the herb crust mixture, evenly covering both sides. Use your hands to gently press the herb crust onto the pork to form a solid coating.
Place the crusted pork chops on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle each pork chop with a small amount of olive oil to help achieve a golden brown crust.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-crusted pork chops with your favorite low-carb side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
