🥘 Ingredients

Zone 1 - Pork

2 bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt

Zone 2 - Vegetables

12 oz Brussels sprouts (halved)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp salt

📝 Instructions

Pat pork chops dry. Rub with olive oil, then press Parmesan, garlic powder, and salt onto both sides. Shared 💡 Really press the Parmesan mixture in — it forms a flavorful crust.
Halve Brussels sprouts. Toss with olive oil, balsamic, and salt. Place in the 8×8 pan. Shared 💡 Place sprouts cut-side down in the pan for maximum caramelization.
Preheat both zones on Dual Zone: zone2 at 380°F, zone1 at 390°F for 3 minutes. Shared 💡 The slightly higher temp for pork gives a better crust.
Set zone2 to Air Fry at 380°F for 18 min (sprouts). Set zone1 to Air Fry at 390°F for 12 min (pork). Enable Smart Finish. Shared 💡 Smart Finish calculates a 6-minute delay for zone1.
Start cooking. When the zone1 alert sounds (6 min in), place pork chops in the top basket. Shared 💡 The add-food alert makes dual-zone cooking foolproof.
When Smart Finish signals done, shake sprouts. Check pork temp is 145°F. Rest pork 3 min. Shared 💡 Shake sprouts while pork rests — the residual heat finishes any that need more time.
Plate pork chops next to the crispy sprouts. Drizzle any balsamic pan juices over everything. Shared 💡 The balsamic and pork juices in the sprout pan create an instant pan sauce.

💡 Ninja Tips

Pork cooked to 145°F with a 3-minute rest is juicy and safe. The balsamic on the sprouts will reduce slightly in the pan, creating a concentrated flavor. If sprouts are large, quarter them instead of halving.

Scaling: To double: cook two batches. To halve: 1 pork chop, 6 oz sprouts, reduce zone1 to 10 min, zone2 to 15 min.
