Ingredients
- 4-6 pork chops 1.5 pounds
- ¼ cup egg whites, whisked about 2 large egg whites
- ¾ cup Italian breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Use shallow bowls to create a dredging station by adding egg whites into one shallow bowl and make breadcrumb mixture with Italian seasoning, and ground black pepper into the other shallow bowl. Set both bowls aside.
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels on a cutting board or baking sheet.
- Dip each pork chop into the egg whites, and then into the breading mixture until each piece is fully coated.
- Place the breaded pork chops on a baking sheet or clean plate until all pieces have been breaded.
- Prepare the air fryer basket with air fryer safe cooking spray, then place the pork chops in a single layer to allow room for the air to circulate and even cooking.
- Very lightly spray the tops of the pork chops with olive oil spray. Air fry at 380 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, flipping and spraying cutlets with cooking spray again halfway through the cooking process for maximum crispiness.
- Check the internal temperature of the pork with a meat thermometer. Temperature should be 145 degrees F.
- Remove from the basket when they are cooked through and golden brown. Place them on a wire rack to remain crispy.
Notes
Variations
Change the seasonings – You can easily add garlic powder, onion powder, or even some cayenne pepper to these pork chops to change the flavor.
Use a different crust – I love using Italian breadcrumbs, but this amazing air fryer recipe would work well with panko breadcrumbs as well.
