What you need

tsp onion powder

tsp garlic powder

tsp smoked paprika

tsp ground mustard

tsp kosher salt
tsp fresh ground black pepper

bone-in pork chops

tbsp olive oil

olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
-1 Preheat an XL air fryer or double basket air fryer to 375F. -1 To a medium bowl, combine the Parm, all the spices, salt, pepper, and stir to combine. -1 Evenly divide and rub the olive oil over all sides of all the pork chops. -1 Evenly press the Parmesan coating mixture into all sides of all the pork chops. -1 Spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil cooking spay or mister, and spray the pork chops themselves with oilve oil spray too. Tip - Even though they have been rubbed with olive oil, this final spray helps encourage crisping and prevents sticking. -1 Place the pork chops in the basket using tongs and air fry for about 4 minutes. -1 Open the basket, flip, spray lightly again over the basket itself and the chops, close, and air fry for an additional 3 minutes, or until done. If the pork chops aren't done (internal temp of 145F) they'll likely only need an additional 2 minutes but of course cook until they are fully done since all air fryers and the thickness of all pork chops varies. -1 If you need to cook in batches, repeat the cooking process in steps 5 through 7. -1 Allow cooked air fryer pork chops to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Leftover pork chops will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months, noting that leftovers won't retain the same crispiness and crunchiness of freshly prepared pork chops.View original recipe
