Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless pork chops mine were 8oz thick & fresh
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning click for recipe
- ¼ cup Grated Parmesan from the refrigerated section of the market
- ¼ tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt optional or up to ½tsp depending on your taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel.
- Mix the Cajun seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and sea salt in a small bowl.
- Coat the pork chops with olive oil. Press the seasoning mixture onto both sides and around the edges.
- Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 375°F for 6–7 minutes per side, or 12–14 minutes total.
- Toward the end of the cook time, check the thickest part of each pork chop with an instant-read thermometer. I usually remove them at about 140°F and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes. Their temperature will continue to rise as they rest, bringing them to 145°F. Check that they reach 145°F before serving.

Notes

- Different cuts: Thinner chops will cook faster. Thick or bone-in chops may need more time.
- Ninja Crispi: Use the same recipe, temperature, and cook time.
