Who Says You Can’t Make Pork Chops Without Breadcrumbs?
Are you looking for a simple and easy twist on pork chops? The secret to these Keto Pork Chops is using Pork Rinds as the Breading. Pork on Pork – Who doesn’t like that idea?
Crispy Protein Packed Pork Chops in Less Than 30 Minutes!
The best part about this recipe is in its simplicity. It is not expensive to make and is perfect to for quick weeknight meals. For these pork chops, I chose to use 1.5″ inch thick cut boneless pork chops so that they remain juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Let Keto Go!
Preheat your Air Fryer or Oven to 400F while you assemble the pork chops and quick breading station.
Grab those Pork Rinds, if you have a food processor, you can burr them up quickly and place in a large bowl. If you do not have a food processor, let’s get some rage out and use the back of a frying pan or rolling pin and smash the rinds to bits! You want to make the pork rinds pretty fine and breadcrumb consistency. Add the Paprika, Garlic and Onion powder to the bowl of pork rinds and mix to combine.
I Dip – You Dip – We Dip – These Pork Chops
Now for the breading station.. Crack and scramble the eggs into another bowl and place it next to the pork rind mixture. One by one, dip the pork chops into the egg, coating them well, then into the pork rinds, coating them well again.
Shake off the excess pork rind mixture and place on a foil lined sheet pan if using the oven or into your air fryer basket. Repeat for the rest of the pork chops. If using a small air fryer you may need to work in batches, perhaps 3 at a time.
Air fry or bake for 12 minutes and then flip the pork chops. Serve with your favorite veggies, bbq sauce, or just eat them!Â
I promise you that they will not last long in your fridge because they are so darn delicious.
