Equipment

Ingredients

  • 10 oz pork schnitzel
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Pat pork dry, and cut any large pieces in half. Season with salt on both sides.
  • Place breadcrumbs in a large shallow bowl.
  • Add flour to another large bowl, place pork in flour and toss to coat.
  • Add egg to the bowl with the pork, split the yolk, and toss to coat.
  • Preheat air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
  • Place each piece of pork schnitzel into the breadcrumbs, and turn to coat thoroughly. Transfer to a plate, and press the panko crumbs onto the pork to help them stick.
  • Place pork schnitzels in air fryer basket [Note 1]. Ensure they are not touching. You may need to cook the schnitzels in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Air fry pork schnitzels until golden brown and cooked through [Note 2]. This will take approximately 7-10 minutes. Carefully turn the schnitzels halfway through the cooking time if required for your air fryer [Note 3].

Notes

  1. If your air fryer tends to stick to food, spritz the basket with olive oil before placing the crumbed schnitzels in it.
  2. Use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature in the thickest part to ensure it has reached the safe temperature of 145°F/63°C.
  3. Some air fryers require food to be turned halfway through cooking. Please check your manual if you are unsure whether this is required for your air fryer.
