Ingredients
- 4 chops boneless pork chops, 3/4–1 inch thick
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry. Brush both sides lightly with Dijon mustard and olive oil — this acts as the binding layer for the crust.
- In a shallow dish, mix Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Press each pork chop into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Press gently so the crust adheres.
- Arrange chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overlapping.
- Air fry at 390°F / 199°C for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crust is golden and pork reaches a safe internal temperature of 145°F.
- Rest 3 minutes before serving.
Chef's Notes
Chef's Notes: Use boneless pork chops 3/4 to 1 inch thick for even cooking. Thinner chops will cook faster — check at 8 minutes. Do not overcrowd the basket or the crust will steam instead of crisp. Contains: Milk, Wheat.
