Air fryer pork chops

Method 1

Ingredients

4 pork chops

½ tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp mustard powder

½ tsp onion powder

25g parmesan, finely grated

cooked greens and peas, to serve (optional)

STEP 1

Heat the air-fryer to 190C. Put the pork chops in a bowl, drizzle over the oil and rub all over the chops.

STEP 2

Combine the oregano, paprika, mustard powder, onion powder and parmesan with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle over the pork chops, ensuring they are covered.

STEP 3

Put the chops in the air-fryer basket and cook for 5 mins (you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air-fryer). Turn over, then cook for 5-8 mins more until cooked through. Timings will depend on the thickness and whether they’re bone-in or not. A temperature probe should read 75C in the thickest part of the chop. Serve with wilted greens and peas, if you like.
