Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 1 inch thick) Boneless pork chops
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.75 cup (finely grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0 as needed for greasing Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and paprika until combined. Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the top of each pork chop.

Step 4

In a separate shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and almond flour.

Step 5

Press each mustard-coated pork chop into the Parmesan-almond mixture, ensuring an even crust forms on the top side.

Step 6

Place the pork chops crust-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between the pieces for even cooking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Optional: For a crispier crust, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 9

Remove the pork chops from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute within the meat.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley or a lemon wedge (optional), alongside your favorite low-carb vegetables or salad.
