Air Fryer Italian Pork Chops Parmigiana

We cooked the pork chops in a 3.7 qt. Air Fryer. For that size of air fryer, 3 pork chops is about the max without overcrowding the air fryer. If you have a larger size, you can probably cook 2-3 more so long as they are still in a single layer. Adjust cooking time for thicker or thinner pork chops. Some brands of Air Fryers will cook slower or faster than others, adjust accordingly.

Notes

  • Recipes were cooked in 3-4 qt air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time. 
  • If cooking in multiple batches & not pre-heating before first batch , the first batch will take longer to cook.
  • Remember to set a timer to shake/flip/toss the food as directed in recipe.
  • Preheating the Air Fryer is preferable. If you don’t preheat, add more time to the cooking.
