Start off by grating 2/3 cup of parmesan cheese into a large bowl. Then add 2/3 cup panko style bread crumbs, 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Give it a thorough mix and set it aside.
Now in a separate bowl. Add 2 large eggs along with 1 grated garlic clove. Grab a whisk and whisk the eggs for about 1 minute.
Pat the pork dry and dip it into the egg coating. Make sure the entire chop is covered.
Then let the extra egg drip off and quickly place it into the panko-Parmesan mixture. Coat the top, bottom, and sides of each pork chop in the breading.
Now, preheat your basket air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it’s preheated, spread the bottom of the air fryer basket with nonstick spray and place 2 pork chops in at a time. Spray the top of the pork chops and cook for about 10 minutes.
Flip the pork chops over and cook for another 8-10 minutes. cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your pork chops. Always check the internal temperature of the meat with a meat thermometer to ensure that it’s properly cooked. Fully cooked pork chops should read at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Now serve it over your favorite gravy and enjoy!

Preheat the air fryer- Always preheat your air fryer so it is at the optimum temperature for cooking and air flow, ensuring that your food is perfectly crispy and cooks evenly.
Don't overfill the air fryer basket- If there isn't adequate air flow, then the pork won't cook evenly or fully. Only place 2 chops in at a time and keep them from touching.
Use a meat thermometer- Pork chops are done when their internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check.
Use a good quality air fryer- We've tested multiple air fryers and found that the Gormia air fryer is one of the best. It's affordable and strong enough to cook meat for optimal crispness.
