Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Pat pork chops dry. Brush both sides with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Mix Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and pepper. Press coating firmly onto both sides of each chop.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes. Flip carefully to keep the crust intact, cook 7-8 more minutes until 145°F internal.
- 4
Rest 3-4 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and fresh parsley.
Tip: Bring chops to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking — cold centers lead to overcooked edges. Press the Parmesan coating on hard; a gentle dusting won't survive the flip.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 18 minutes vs ~32 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
