Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Crushed pork rinds
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by using a meat mallet to pound the pork chops to about 1/2-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and tenderness.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Season both sides of the pork chops with this mixture.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs until well mixed and set aside.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, mix together the crushed pork rinds, almond flour, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Dredge each pork chop in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Step 6
Then gently press each side of the pork chop into the pork rind mixture, firmly pressing to adhere the crumbs to the meat.
Step 7
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 8
Add the breaded pork chops to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 10
Serve your Keto Pork Katsu hot, optionally with a side of Keto-friendly dipping sauce or salad for a complete meal.
