Using parmesan cheese on Keto

Parmesan cheese is a unique and helpful ingredient to use on the Keto diet. Did you know that parmesan cheese has more grams of protein than fat? As a hard cheese, parmesan has a unique ability to withstand higher temperatures without melting. This means you can use it as Keto breading on your baked or fried foods and it will create a delicious, cheesy crust. Yum!

Are pork chops Keto?

Pork chops as whole pieces are high in protein. However, they have a wonderful strip of fat on them as well. When eaten in moderation, pork products can be perfectly suitable for your Keto diet. Make sure to get your protein and animal fat from other sources as well like chicken, beef, and oily fish. A variety of fats and protein sources is known to be very healthy for the body.

Recipe Steps

steps 5

50 min

  • Step 1

    Turn on an oven to preheat to 375 F (190 C). Prepare boneless pork chops by pounding and tenderizing them with a kitchen mallet until they flatten down about halfway. Rub about ¼ teaspoon of olive oil into each side of each pork chop, massaging the meat a little. Sprinkle salt and pepper over one side of the pork chops.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Next, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of almond flour over each side of each pork chop, then gently press the flour into the flesh so it sticks. Create a breading station by cracking the egg into a small bowl or dish and whisking it together. On a clean plate, combine parmesan cheese, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Prepare a large sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    One by one, dip a pork chop into the egg. Then, let any excess egg drip off before you lay it in the parmesan breading. Coat each side of the pork chop with parmesan breading, then lay it in the center of your sheet pan. Repeat until all the pork chops are breaded.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Next, add whole grape tomatoes to a large mixing bowl. Quarter both zucchini and mushrooms, then add them to the bowl as well. Coat the vegetables in olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and oregano. Toss the vegetables with the seasonings and oil to combine. Then, arrange the vegetables on the outer sides of the sheet pan.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Bake the sheet pan dinner in your oven for about 30 minutes. The breading on the pork chops should be golden and naturally release from the parchment paper. You can use a meat thermometer to double-check the pork chops are done. Toss the veggies gently with a spatula before serving with the pork chops.
