How to Make Almond Crusted Pork
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- In a food processor, combine 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup slivered almonds, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Pulse until almonds are coarsely chopped but still have some texture. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.
- In a separate shallow dish, whisk 1 large egg white.
- Dip each pork chop into the egg white, ensuring both sides are coated. Then, dredge in the almond mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the coated pork chops on the prepared wire rack. Lightly coat the tops of the pork chops with cooking spray.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the pork chops are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Serve immediately with your favorite honey mustard dipping sauce.
