Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Pat the 400 g pork chops dry with paper towels. Never wash them, or they’ll become mushy.
  2. 2. Peel 2 cloves of garlic and press them through a garlic press. Alternatively: chop them very finely.
  3. 3. Finely chop 1 tbsp thyme, 1 tbsp rosemary, and 1 tbsp parsley. The herbs should be like dust.
  4. 4. Mix the herbs, garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl.
  5. 5. Rub the pork chops with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. This helps the herb crust stick better later.
  6. 6. Spread the herb mixture generously over the pork chops. Press the herbs firmly onto the meat.
  7. 7. Let the pork chops rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  8. 8. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This takes about 3 minutes. Without preheating, the crust will be grey.
  9. 9. Place the pork chops flat in the basket. Make sure they don’t touch so the air can circulate.
  10. 10. Cook the pork chops for 15 minutes at 180 °C. Flip them after 7.5 minutes for even crispiness.
  11. 11. Check the core temperature: it should be 65 °C. If not, add another 2-3 minutes.
  12. 12. Remove the pork chops and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes. The juices will redistribute in the meat.
  13. 13. Cut the pork chops into strips. The crust should be golden brown and crispy, the meat juicy.
