Air Fryer Pork Chops
Air Fryer Pork Chops are boneless chops coated with a seasoned blend of almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, Italian seasoning, and Creole seasoning, then cooked in an air fryer for a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Sprayed with cooking spray for even browning, these chops cook quickly and offer a flavorful crust without deep frying. They can be paired with various sides, making them adaptable for different meals.
Ingredients
- 2 pork chops that are 0.5 lbs (240g) each, boneless
- 1/3 cup almond flour or regular flour if not low carb
- 3 tbsp Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp creole seasoning or ground coriander, or Cajun seasoning
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 180C / 350F.
- Mix together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, Herbes de Provence, Creole or other seasoning.
- Lightly spray both sides of the pork chops with a calorie-controlled cooking spray (or if not following a calorie-controlled diet, rub with olive oil).
- Cover both sides of the pork chops with the coating mix and place chops in the air fryer basket. Make sure the pork chops are not touching.
- Cooking can be anytime between 8-12 mins, depending on the thickness of pork chops. Mine took 9 mins. When cooking these the first time, I recommend starting with 8 mins and then checking for doneness.
Notes
- When cooking pork chops in the air fryer for the first time, start with the lower end of the cooking time range and check for doneness before increasing time.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches an internal temperature of 63C (145F) for safe consumption.
- Arrange pork chops in the air fryer basket so they do not touch, allowing even air circulation and a crisp coating.
- The seasoning mix provided can coat four pork chops, but using all on just two chops results in a more heavily seasoned crust.
- Serve with air-fried vegetables or instant pot sides like applesauce or baked potatoes for a complete meal.
