Ingredients
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage, plus more for garnish
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt plus a pinch, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
2 bone-in pork chops, 1 inch thick, trimmed
1 Honeycrisp apple cored and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
6 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup apple cider
Directions
Lightly coat the basket of a 6-quart air-fryer with cooking spray. Combine sage, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over chops. Combine apple, green beans, oil and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper and pinch of salt in a large bowl.
Arrange the chops and the bean mixture in the prepared basket. Cook at 400℉ for 5 minutes. Flip the chops and stir the bean mixture. Cook until the apples and beans are tender and browned on the edges and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the pork registers 145℉, about 5 minutes more.
Meanwhile, bring cider just to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil gently, uncovered, until slightly syrupy and reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 7 minutes.
Transfer the chops and the bean mixture to 2 plates. Drizzle with the cider syrup. Sprinkle with additional sage, if desired.
