Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Herb and Parmesan Pork Chops
- Bone-in pork chops, about 1 to 2 cm thick
- All-purpose flour
- Eggs
- Bread crumbs
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Sugar
- Seasonings: Garlic powder, Salt, Black Pepper, Basil, Oregano, and Thyme
How To Make Air Fryer Herb and Parmesan Pork Chops
Season your pork chops with salt and pepper. Put the flour onto a plate. Add the eggs and 2 tablespoons of water to a small dish and mix well. Then on another plate, place 2 tablespoons of flour, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, basil, oregano, thyme, a dash of salt, and a dash of pepper, and mix well.
Then start breading your chop, by first placing it in, the flour mixture, then the egg mixture and finally the breadcrumb mixture. As you bread them, place them into your air fryer basket. Spray the pork chop with olive oil, that is in your sprayer.
Set the time for 15 minutes at 360 degrees F, 1/2 way through, at 8 minutes, flip, and spray again with olive oil. After checking to make sure your pork is cooked through, with an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, remove your pork chop.
Pro Tips:
- Purchase pork chops with the same thickness, this ensures two things, you will not overcook them, and they will all be done at the same time.
- 1 inch to 2-inch pork chops do better in the air fryer since they do not dry out.
- This is one of the biggest tips I am always giving, if you have any bread coating on your meat, please spray the coating generously with olive oil, this way it really crisps up.
How To Store:
It’s inevitable. You cook a great dinner, and there are leftovers. So, what’s the best way to store them so they’ll still be good when you’re ready to eat them? Here are some tips that will help you keep your leftovers fresh.
Let them cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. They will last in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 days. You can reheat them in the air fryer or microwave, and heat them until warmed through.
