Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Place each pork cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound each cutlet to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Set up a dredging station with two shallow bowls. In the first bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined.
Dip each pork cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the meat so it adheres well.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork cutlets in batches if necessary, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the fried cutlets from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Paleo Fried Pork Cutlets hot with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides.
