Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin cutlets
- 240 ml Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 bottle Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the pork loin cutlets in a shallow dish.
Pour the low-fat buttermilk over the pork cutlets, ensuring they are fully submerged. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, whole wheat breadcrumbs, and paprika to create the breading mixture.
Remove the pork cutlets from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Coat each cutlet evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Arrange the breaded cutlets on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly coat the top of each cutlet with cooking spray to encourage browning.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cutlets are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F). You may flip the cutlets halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Once baked, allow the cutlets to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
