Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 whole eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons ghee
Instructions
Begin by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until smooth.
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
Next, dredge the egg-coated pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks. Shake off any excess.
Repeat the coating process for all pork chops.
Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd them.
Cook the pork chops for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F and have a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite Whole30-compliant sides.
