- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Breading Station:
- In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third dish.
- Coat the Pork Chops:
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured pork chops into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Press each pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly and pressing gently to adhere.
- Air Fry the Pork Chops:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
- Place the breaded pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook the pork chops in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the crispy air fryer pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the pork chops hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a salad.
