Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the pork cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly with a fork.
Step 4
Dip each pork cutlet into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Add the coated pork cutlets to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary, and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the fried cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb side dishes, such as a salad or roasted vegetables.
