     Garlic Cashew Crusted Pork Chops are a primal, paleo, keto, low-carb version of "shake and bake" breaded and baked pork chops.

    Except these are grain free and taste even better.  I have been experimenting with cashew meals and sunflower meals.

    I have been experimenting with cashew meals and sunflower meals lately in the kitchen.

    Surprised to find out that this combination of nut and seed meals makes the best pork chop breading I have ever had.

    My husband said that these pork chops were better than the ones I used to make with the shake-and-bake breading. 

    He is really particular about pork chops, as they are his childhood favorite. We both grew up with those shake-and-bake pork chops.

    We have these garlic cashew-crusted pork chops at least once a week now, and I always serve them with a spinach salad.

    My hubby has to always have spinach with his pork chops. He says they go together and can't be served apart. I call his quirky food rules that don't make sense "food OCD."

      What kind of pork chops? Boneless or bone in?

        Hi Christina, I used boneless, but you can use bone in, but cooking time maybe longer.

        Dianna, you can use almond flour instead.

        Lori, thank you. I used an organic honey mustard dressing on the salad. I can't remember that brand name.
