    Why Love These Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops?

    When it comes to air fryers, there are so many versatile meals you can make. Check out my 30 Best Damn Air Fryer Recipes for Quick Weeknight Dinners for more ideas! 

    For this garlic parmesan pork chop recipe, I use bone-in pork chops that are about an inch thick. This ensures an absolutely juicy pork chop, while the air fryer keeps the cooking time low.

    The flavors of the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper are all easy pantry staples, and when mixed with the Parmesan cheese, they create a delicious and savory crust on the pork chops—no breadcrumbs needed!

    With all these simple elements, you’ll have a restaurant-quality meal in under 10 minutes. It may be an easy pork chop recipe, but it’s definitely but it’s showing up like the MVP on your dinner table.

    Made with Simple Ingredients 

    • Bone-in pork chops: I like to use the rib cut chops, but really, any will work just fine. If you use boneless chops, be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. 
    • Grated Parmesan cheese: This adds a lovely nutty, crunchy coating to the chops without needing any bread crumbs! 
    • Spice mix: Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper are all you need to achieve the best flavor.
    • Egg: This helps bind the seasoning to the pork chops.

    Preparation

    Start by mixing the spices together in a small bowl. Then, place the mix in a shallow dish. In a medium bowl, crack open an egg and beat it well. 

    Next, dunk the pork chop into the egg mixture. Make sure to get it all coated. Then, lift it out of the bowl and let any excess drip off before placing it into the seasoning mix, covering both sides. Gently rub the mixture in and make sure it’s all well coated.

    ​Cooking

    Just like an oven or grill, preheating the air fryer is recommended for best results. Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 400°F. 

    Add the seasoned pork chops, then air fry for 8-10 minutes. When the pork chops are done, they’ll be a beautiful golden brown color on the outside. 

    Pro tip: Your cook time may vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops. For accurate cooking, use an instant read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is at least 145°F.

    Serving

    Your pork chops are now ready to enjoy! Make sure to let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before plating. I recommend serving these chops with Dijon mustard—it’s so good!

    What to Serve with Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops

    When it comes to side dishes, I love to serve the chops with a fresh, crisp salad. You also can’t go wrong with some delicious spuds! These Best Damn Mashed Potatoes or Best Damn Air Fryer SweetPotatoes bring that “wow” factor.

    If you’re craving greens, my Garlic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus is the perfect pairing! And I mean, come on, everyone loves more parmesan cheese!

    Storage & Reheating

    Store your leftover garlic parmesan pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can either use a microwave or heat them in a skillet with some olive oil over medium heat.

      The pork chops I used were a little thick so I cooked them about 3 minutes longer. They were still moist and we really liked them. I would
      definitely make it again

      Tried your recipe for our dinner tonight and it was delicious. I did cook the chops for extra 5 minutes, wanted them browned more. Thanks
