This version of schnitzel is crazy delicious. The term schnitzel refers to the cooking method of pounding meat to tenderize it and then bread and fry it. The air fryer function creates a delicious browned crust with just a light spray of cooking oil.

Recipe Notes
Tips
It’s important to lightly spray the schnitzel with oil before cooking to ensure you get a nice golden color.
I used boneless center-cut pork chops, but you can also use slices of pork tenderloin. Pound to about 1⁄4-inch (0.5 cm) thick. Don’t pound them too thin, or they will dry out in cooking.
For a gluten-free alternative, substitute ground pork rinds in place of the panko or use gluten-free panko bread crumbs instead.
