Ingredients
  

For the Pork Chops
  • 4 pieces Bone-in Pork Chops Opt for thick-cut for juiciest results.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can substitute with avocado oil.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adjust if using fresh garlic.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Prevents excess moisture.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Can use smoked paprika for extra flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting your bone-in pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended to form a paste. Rub this mixture on both sides of the pork chops.
  3. Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Once preheated, carefully place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. After cooking, use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
