Crispy and Juicy Air Fryer Pork Chops

Let your air fryer do the work to create the juiciest, crispiest pork chops you've ever had. After this, you'll never return to your old cooking method.

Why Air Fry Pork Chops?

The air fryer’s fast air circulation cooks pork chops to perfection: crisp on the outside and tender, juicy on the inside. What more could you ask for from an effortless pork chop recipe?

Steps for Making Perfect Air Fryer Pork Chops

Combine Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, parsley, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Coat each pork chop with olive oil, then dip in the seasoned cheese mixture. Place two pork chops at a time into the preheated air fryer. Flip halfway through cooking. Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving.

How Long to Cook Pork Chops in the Air Fryer

For medium-sized pork chops, cook for about 10 minutes at 380°F in the air fryer. Since thickness can vary, check the internal temperature before serving. The chop is done when it reaches at least 145°F at the thickest part, as measured by an instant-read thermometer.
