Air Fryer Pork Chops (Printer-Friendly Version)

Tender pork chops with a crispy crust made quickly using an air fryer and a blend of savory seasonings.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Pork

01 - 4 boneless pork chops, 25 mm thick

→ Oils

02 - 30 ml extra-virgin olive oil

→ Seasonings

03 - 28 g finely grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 5 ml garlic powder
05 - 5 ml kosher salt
06 - 5 ml onion powder
07 - 5 ml smoked paprika
08 - 2.5 ml freshly ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, then coat both sides evenly with extra-virgin olive oil.
02 - Combine grated Parmesan, garlic powder, kosher salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper in a medium bowl and mix well.
03 - Press seasoning mixture evenly onto both sides of each pork chop to form a flavorful crust.
04 - Arrange pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 190°C, flipping halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 63°C, approximately 15 minutes.
05 - Transfer pork chops to a plate or cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Use a reliable cooking thermometer to avoid overcooking, ensuring moist and juicy pork chops. Resting for 10 minutes post-cooking enhances flavor and tenderness.
