Air Fryer Parmesan Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless pork chops
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• Cooking spray (for the air fryer basket)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix them well to create the breading mixture.
3. In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs to create an egg wash.
4. Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Coat the pork chop with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chops to adhere. Make sure both sides are evenly coated.
6. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
7. Place the coated pork chops in the preheated air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them; cook in batches if needed.
8. Cook the pork chops in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops and your specific air fryer, so be sure to check for doneness. The pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
9. Once they are golden brown and the internal temperature is reached, remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve your Air Fryer Parmesan Pork Chops with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, vegetables, or a simple salad.
