Preheat an oven to 425°F. For best results, drizzle olive oil in a large cast iron skillet and place in the oven while it's preheating. Alternatively, grease a baking sheet with olive oil and place it in the oven for at least 10 minutes to get hot. This creates a nice sear on the pork.
Lightly season the pork chops with salt and pepper. In a small shallow bowl, place the beaten egg. In another shallow bowl mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper.
Dip a pork chop in the egg and then coat both sides with the almond flour / parmesan breading. Transfer it to the hot cast iron skillet or baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
Bake the pork for 15-17 minutes, flipping halfway through. The pork is done when the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving with optional lemon wedges.

Notes
Almond Flour Substitute
Instead of almond flour, almond meal may be used. Alternatively, to keep the recipe keto, use crushed pork rinds in its place. For a gluten-free alternative, use crushed gluten-free cereal, crackers, or gluten-free breadcrumbs. If you do not need a low carb or gluten-free pork recipe, use panko or traditional breadcrumbs.
Freezer / Meal Prep
Bread the pork, wrap individually in plastic wrap, and then transfer to ziplock freezer bag. Freeze up to 3 months. To bake, thaw completely in the refrigerator. Unwrap the pork and cook as directed.
