Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Finely chop the fresh parsley, rosemary, and thyme. In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, chopped herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle olive oil over the pork chops and rub it in to lightly coat both sides.
Dip each pork chop into the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat all sides evenly with the herb crust.
Place the crusted pork chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze juice over the tops of the pork chops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
