Ingredients

• 2, bone-in, 1 inch thick pork chops
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup, grated parmesan cheese
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 lb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces green beans
• 1/2 tbsp butter

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a shallow bowl, combine 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 3/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, then press both sides firmly into the coating mixture until evenly covered.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer skillet to oven.
3. Step 3: Bake 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), then remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.
4. Step 4: While pork cooks, melt 1/2 tbsp butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 lb green beans and 1/4 tsp garlic powder, then sauté 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
