Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh parsley, rosemary, and thyme. In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, chopped herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Drizzle olive oil over the pork chops and rub it in to lightly coat both sides.
Step 4
Dip each pork chop into the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat all sides evenly with the herb crust.
Step 5
Place the crusted pork chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
Step 6
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze juice over the tops of the pork chops.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
