Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup avocado oil
• 4 pieces low carb buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 cup sliced tomatoes
• 4 slices dill pickles
• 0.25 cup mustard
• 0.25 cup mayo

Directions

Step 1

Slice the pork tenderloin into four even pieces and pound them gently to about half an inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin for even cooking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. This will be the egg wash for the pork.

Step 4

Dip each pork piece into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated on all sides.

Step 5

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated pork pieces into the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if needed to avoid burning.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pork to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, split the low carb buns. Spread mayonnaise and mustard on each side of the buns as desired.

Step 9

Add a piece of the crispy pork tenderloin to the bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, and a dill pickle slice.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb crispy pork tenderloin sandwiches.
