Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Pork Chops.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for those delicious pork chops.
Step 2
While it warms up, season both sides of your pork chops generously with Cajun seasoning, giving them a flavorful kick that will make your taste buds dance.
Step 3
Set the seasoned chops aside for a moment.
Step 4
Next, grab a small food processor and pulse some croutons until they’re finely crushed.
Step 5
This will create a delightful crunchy coating for your pork.
Step 6
Once crushed, transfer the croutons to a shallow dish.
Step 7
In another shallow dish, lightly beat a couple of eggs until they’re well mixed.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to bread those chops! Take each pork chop, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off, and then press it into the crushed croutons, ensuring both sides are nicely coated.
Step 9
Place the breaded chops on a plate, ready for their air-frying adventure.
Step 10
To help them crisp up beautifully, mist the breaded pork chops lightly with cooking spray.
Step 11
Don’t forget to spray the air fryer basket as well to prevent sticking.
Step 12
Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in the basket; if your air fryer is on the smaller side, you might need to cook them in batches.
Step 13
Cook the pork chops for 5 minutes, then flip them over, giving them another light mist of cooking spray if needed.
Step 14
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, keeping an eye on them until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 15
Once they’re perfectly cooked, serve the pork chops hot and enjoy the delightful crunch and flavor in every bite!.
