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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
