How to Make Almond Crusted Pork With Honey Dijon Dipping Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup sliced almonds, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pulse until almonds are coarsely chopped but still retain some texture.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.
  5. In another shallow dish, whisk 1 large egg white.
  6. Dip each pork slice (about 1 lb thinly sliced pork loin) into the egg white, ensuring both sides are coated. Then, evenly coat with the almond mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Place the breaded pork on the prepared rack, leaving some space between each piece. Lightly coat both sides with cooking spray.
  8. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
  10. Serve the crispy pork fingers immediately, drizzled or dipped in the honey Dijon sauce.
