- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for spraying)
Instructions:
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it heat up for about 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Breading: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Coat the Pork Chops: Dip each pork chop into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, press the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it’s evenly covered on both sides.
Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the breaded pork chops in the basket, ensuring they don’t overlap for even cooking.
Cook the Pork Chops: Air fry the pork chops at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. The pork chops should be golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
