  • Seasoning variations:
  • Use 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder if you don't have a spice rub.
  • Use 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for an Italian-flavored dish.
  • Buy seasoned Italian breadcrumbs and just season the meat with a little bit of salt and black pepper.
  •  Tips:
  • Thinner pork chops will need less cooking time. Thicker pork chops will need more cooking time.
  • For even cooking, try to get meat that is all the same thickness.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer. If you don't have a large air fryer, cook in batches.
  • Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. 
  • Commercial spray oils can cause damage to the non-stick finish on an air fryer basket. So use an inexpensive spray bottle filled with oil instead.
