Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.

Step 5

In a final bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with the spice mixture.

Step 7

Dip each pork chop into the flour, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.

Step 8

Next, immerse the flour-coated pork chops in the almond milk mixture.

Step 9

Then, dredge the pork chops in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
