Title: Air-Fried Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare Coating Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Coat Pork Chops:
- Dip each pork chop into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated. Then, dredge the pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the coating onto the pork to adhere.
- Spray with Cooking Spray:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry Pork Chops:
- Place the coated pork chops in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray the tops of the pork chops with cooking spray.
- Air Fry First Side:
- Air fry the pork chops at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Check after 5 minutes to ensure they are browning evenly.
- Flip and Air Fry Second Side:

- Rest and Serve:
- Allow the pork chops to rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute.
- Optional: Garnish and Serve:
