If you're looking for simple low-calorie, high-protein meals, these crispy breaded air-fryer pork chops are an excellent option. They don't require a lot of oil to create a deep-fried crispy crust. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside roasted veggies. Want to double the recipe? Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook the pork chops in batches, but that's easy to do.

Ingredients

½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
2 (5 ounce) boneless pork chops, trimmed
Cooking spray
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Place panko, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add pork; seal the bag and shake to coat. Remove the pork from the bag; shake off excess breading. Place the pork in air-fryer basket; coat with cooking spray. Cook at 360°F until the pork is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°F, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate; let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with salt.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
