For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or paprika to the crouton breading. If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the croutons in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can prevent the pork chops from cooking evenly and achieving optimal crispiness. Resting the pork chops allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
