Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
Pound the pork chops to a thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet. This ensures even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour and grated parmesan cheese.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, coating it completely.
Transfer the pork chop to the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the coating sticks evenly. Repeat with all pork chops.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the pan. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until the coating is golden brown and the pork is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pork chops to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the pork tonkatsu immediately with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce or salad.
