2tbspExtra Virgin Olive Oil (or pure cooking spray)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
Season them generously (on both sides) with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, making sure it's coated, then press it into the panko mixture, ensuring an even, generous coating of breadcrumbs.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil, then place the breaded pork chops in the basket in a single layer. Spray the tops with a light coat of oil to help them crisp up.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through if your model doesn't have 360° air circulation, until the pork chops are golden and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
