Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork cutlets
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 optional for serving Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil.

Step 2

Pound the pork cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Step 5

Dip each pork cutlet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated, then transfer to the almond flour mixture.

Step 6

Press the cutlet into the almond flour mixture, turning to coat both sides evenly, pressing the mixture onto the cutlet to adhere.

Step 7

Gently place the breaded cutlet into the hot skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the cutlet from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the coating and cooking process with the remaining cutlets, adding more oil to the skillet as necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot with optional lemon wedges for added freshness.
