Air Fryer Pork Chops

Air Fryer Pork Chops

It's hard to resist this quick, oil-free version of the family favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups cornflakes, finely crushed (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Four 6-ounce center-cut boneless pork chops (1 inch thick), trimmed of excess fat

Directions

  1. 1

    Set up a breading station with 3 pie plates or small baking dishes. Add the flour to one. Whisk together the eggs with the Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the second. Combine the cornflakes with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in the last.

  2. 2

    Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 360 degrees F.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge one at a time, first in the flour, shaking of excess, then in the egg, letting excess drip off, followed by the cornflake mixture. Transfer to a large platter. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.

  4. 4

    Working in 2 batches, add the chops to the fryer basket and cook until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
