🥗Healthier: grape juice

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Grape juice provides sweetness without alcohol, while apple cider vinegar adds acidity.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while pecorino is often less expensive.

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on both sides of 4 boneless pork loin chops.

In a shallow dish, mix 1 cup dried seasoned breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons canola oil.

In another shallow dish, crack 1 large egg and whisk it with a fork until combined.

Coat each seasoned pork chop in the egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Preheat the oven and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the breaded pork chops on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the pork chops with an instant-read thermometer, ensuring they reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Squeeze lemon juice over the pork chops before serving.
