Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 whole eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons ghee
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels and set them aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned flour mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Next, dredge the egg-coated pork chop in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks. Shake off any excess.
Step 6
Repeat the coating process for all pork chops.
Step 7
Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd them.
Step 8
Cook the pork chops for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F and have a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Step 9
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite Whole30-compliant sides.
