Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops with Rosemary Baby Potatoes

Instructions

• 1

  Insert the oven rack into position 2 Down. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 350°F for 25 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.

  Cut the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices and place in a bowl. Cut the onion into wedges with the root attached so they hold their shape and add to the bowl.

• 3

  Add the rosemary, oil, salt and ½ teaspoon pepper and toss to coat. Place them in the roasting pan.

  Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and air fry for 25 minutes. When the oven signals, stir the potatoes and onion and continue cooking. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.

  Combine the parmesan, remaining 1 teaspoon pepper and parsley in a shallow dish.

• 6

  Place the egg in a shallow dish and whisk. Working with one piece at a time, dip one side and edges of the pork chop into the egg, allowing excess to drain and place the same side into the parmesan mixture pressing onto the sides. Place the coated side up on a tray, sprinkle with some of the remaining parmesan mixture and gently press. Refrigerate until required.

  When there is 1 minute remaining on the oven timer, adjust the temperature to 425°F and the time to 18 minutes. Add the pork, crumb side up to the pan and air fry for a further 18 minutes. When the oven signals at the end of cooking, adjust the oven to Broil, High, for 4 minutes and press Start.

  The pork is ready when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part, away from the bone, reads 145°F. If not, press A Bit More.

  Tip: It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it. The internal temp is for blush pink. If you prefer your pork well done, it should read 171°F. The size and thickness of the pork chop can alter the cooking time. For best results, test for doneness 3 to 5 minutes before the end of cooking.
