Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400 ℉
Mix together cheese and seasonings in a small bowl
Coat both sides of pork chops with a thin layer of olive oil
Dip pork chops into cheese mixture and press to secure mixture to each side of the chop
Carefully place pork chops in air fryer basket and cook for 11-12 minutes
Adjust cooking time if pork chops are thicker or thinner, and ensure pork is cooked to a minimum of 145 ℉

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer. To freeze for up to 3 months, wrap chops individually in parchment paper or store them in individual freezer bags to preserve the coating. Defrost in the fridge, and reheat in the air fryer.
Leave space between the chops for proper air circulation. Since the pork chops are relatively thin, there is no need to flip them during cooking.
Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches an internal temp of 145 ℉.
Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute before slicing or serving.
Cooking time will vary based on the meat’s thickness. Use these approximate times:
- Thin cut (½ inch): 6 - 8 minutes
- Thick cut (1.5 inches): 10 -12 minutes
