Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 pieces bone-in or boneless pork chops
  • 1.0 cup breadcrumbs
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3.0 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1.0 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1.0 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon paprika
  • 1.0 large egg
  • 2.0 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 0.0 spray cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Pork Chops: Start by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps the crust adhere better. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the Herb Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, sage, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
  • Set Up the Breading Station: In another bowl, whisk together the egg and Dijon mustard until blended. You'll use this to coat the pork chops.
  • Coat the Pork Chops: Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Then, dip the chops into the herb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to the meat.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Air Fry the Pork Chops: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil. Place the coated pork chops in a single layer in the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown.
  • Rest and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier chop.
  • Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve with your favorite holiday sides. Enjoy your Festive Herb-Crusted Air Fryer Pork Chops!
