Parmesan-Crusted Low-Carb Pork Chops

Not a big fan of pork chops? My family wasn’t either until they tried these incredibly juicy, Parmesan-Crusted Low-Carb Pork Chops! The crispy Parmesan breading locks in SO much flavor, and the pork rind crumbs are the perfect low-carb substitute for traditional bread crumbs. (But no one will ever know the difference!)

Be sure to use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking! You’ll want to remove the chops from the oven at 140ºF, then let rest for 5 minutes in the hot pan while they come up to full temperature.

Serve with our Garlicky Green Beans for an easy low-carb dinner that is sure to impress!

    I love this recipe. It is so salty and savory and delicious! I had an old pork chop recipe that was the only way I would eat pork chops, but now I like this WAY better! And my kids love this one, too! A winner for our whole family 🙂
