Air Fryer Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • 2 thick cut bone in pork chops
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

    Pat the pork chops dry on both sides.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Combine all of the seasoning ingredients together and rub the seasoning mix into the pork chops. Coat them well on both sides.

  4. 4

  5. 5

    Cook for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 140-145ºF. Thicker pork chops may require a longer cooking time.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste based on your canned goods.

These air-fried pork chops are perfect with their sweet, smoky glaze clinging like a warm embrace. When you pull them out of the air fryer, they exude an aroma that makes you wish for double the batch and perfectly seared on the outside yet juicy inside. Enjoy with crusty bread; the balance of flavors is simply delightful.
