Why Cook Pork Chops In the Air Fryer?
The air fryer’s rapid air circulation yields pork chops that are crispy on the outside, yet flavorful and juicy on the inside. What more could you want in an easy pork chop recipe?
How to Make Air Fryer Pork Chops
Mix Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, parsley, and pepper in a shallow dish. Coat each pork chop in olive oil, then dredge in seasoned cheese mixture. Cook the pork chops, two at a time, in the preheated air fryer. Flip the pork chops halfway through cooking. Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
How Long to Cook Pork Chops In the Air Fryer
This recipe should completely cook medium-sized pork chops in about 10 minutes in an air fryer set to 380 degrees F. Of course, since pork chops vary in thickness, it’s best to test the temperature before you dig in. An instant read food thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chop should read at least 145 degrees F.
How to Store Air Fryer Pork Chops
Store leftover pork chops in an airtight storage container or tightly wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in an oven set to 350 degrees F (with a few drops of broth or water to prevent dryness) until the pork is heated through.
