Ingredients
  

Pork Chops
  • 4 bone-in pork chops about 1-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps create a better sear.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the juices run clear.
  7. Remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making them more tender.

Notes
