Ultimate Air Fryer Pork Chops with Crunchy Pecan Crust - Keto-Friendly Recipe

Step 1

To start, get your air fryer nice and toasty at 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) for roughly 5 minutes, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

Next, in a small bowl, mix together a delightful blend of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, salt, and pepper. Crack an egg into the mix and give it a good whisk until everything harmonizes perfectly. Have a plate ready with a generous amount of pecans.

Step 3

Take each pork chop for a little dip in the egg concoction, then gently lay it on the pecan-covered plate. Press those pecans onto both sides of the chop until they are nicely coated. Spritz a bit of cooking spray on both sides of the chops and transfer them to the air fryer basket.

Step 4

Let them sizzle away in the air fryer for about 6 minutes. Carefully flip the chops using tongs and continue air frying until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, approximately another 6 minutes. Once done, plate them up while still warm, adorned with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for that extra touch of freshness.
