  • Author: ushinzomr
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Juicy and flavorful pork chops cooked to perfection in the air fryer, making for a quick and easy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
  3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the chops.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in the spice mixture for a few hours before cooking.
  • Serve with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the pork chops.
