Serving Suggestions
When selecting sides to serve with pork chops, consider the flavor profile of the pork chops and aim for complementary flavors and textures. Due to the high fat content in pork and parmesan, I recommend to balance them out with some lighter and greener options. Roasted or steamed vegetables such as asparagus, green beans, broccoli and Brussels sprouts all go well with pork chops. I love serving pork chops with classic sides like:
Air Fryer Broccoli Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Potato Wedges Garlic Asparagus Cheesy Roasted Vegetables Baked Macaroni and Cheese Parker House Rolls
No matter what you serve them with, they’re sure to be a hit. This easy pork chops recipe will quickly become part of your weeknight dinner rotation!
Can I make these pork chops ahead of time?
These pork chops are best served immediately after cooking.
How can I prevent pork chops from drying out?
To prevent pork chops from drying out, try not to overcook them. For juicy, tender pork chops, cook them until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
How can I check if the pork chops are fully cooked and safe to eat?
You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat. The USDA recommends cooking pork chops to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) followed by a three-minute rest time. To check the temperature, insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop, making sure not to touch the bone. The juices should be clear, not pink, and the meat should be white or light pink throughout. More details can be found on our meat temperature guide.
Do I need to flip the pork chops during the cooking process?
I recommended to flip the pork chops halfway through the cooking process when making them in an air fryer. This will help ensure that the pork chops cook evenly on both sides and develop a crispy, golden-brown exterior.
