Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. In a shallow bowl, beat the large egg until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine chopped pecan halves, grated parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
  4. Dip the pork chop into the beaten egg, coating both sides completely.
  5. Press the pork chop into the pecan mixture, ensuring an even crust covers both sides.
  6. Lightly brush or spray the pork chop with olive oil to help crisp the crust.
  7. Place the pork chop in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping.
  8. Cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is golden and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 63 degrees Celsius (145 degrees Fahrenheit).
  9. Remove the pork chop and let it rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Use fresh pecans for the best flavor and crunch.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Let the pork chop rest to keep it juicy and tender.
