Instructions

In a shallow bowl, season pork with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard and 1 tablespoons whole grain mustard for at least 1 hour (or overnight, the longer the better).
Place breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Place egg in another shallow bowl. Dip the pork into the egg, then the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a work surface and spray both sides with oil.
In a single layer, in batches if needed, transfer the cutlets to the air fryer basket (I recommend using air fryer parchment here to prevent sticking) and air fryer 400F 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden, crispy and cooked through.
While the cutlets cook, make the salad: In a small bowl combine remaining dijon mustard, remaining whole grain mustard, maple syrup, olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Combine with kale and massage greens for 1-2 minutes to tenderize if desired; reserve. Add apples.
Bake on a rack on a sheet pan 425°F 14 to 15 minutes, turning halfway, or until golden. OR Cook them in a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat for 6 minutes on each side.
Serve crispy cutlets with kale salad alongside.
