Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork loin cutlets
- 240 ml Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 bottle Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the pork loin cutlets in a shallow dish.
Step 2
Pour the low-fat buttermilk over the pork cutlets, ensuring they are fully submerged. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, whole wheat breadcrumbs, and paprika to create the breading mixture.
Step 5
Remove the pork cutlets from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Coat each cutlet evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
Step 6
Arrange the breaded cutlets on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Lightly coat the top of each cutlet with cooking spray to encourage browning.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the cutlets are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F). You may flip the cutlets halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Step 9
Once baked, allow the cutlets to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
