Make incredibly tender, juicy boneless pork chops with a crispy crust using your air fryer. This quick recipe is perfect for an easy weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops completely dry using paper towels. This step helps achieve a crispy crust.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme to create your seasoning blend.
  3. Lightly brush both sides of each pork chop with the olive oil.
  4. Generously sprinkle the seasoning blend over all sides of the pork chops, pressing lightly so the spices adhere.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  6. Place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary.
  7. Air fry for 10 to 14 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through the cooking time (around the 6-minute mark). Cooking time depends on thickness; aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before serving. This keeps the meat tender.

Notes

  • For bone-in pork chops, you may need to add 2-3 minutes to the total cooking time.
  • If you prefer a ranch flavor, substitute the spice blend with 2 tablespoons of dry ranch seasoning mix.
  • To make this a low carb air fryer pork meal, stick to this simple seasoning blend.
  • If you want to try pork chops with apples, serve these alongside sautéed or air-fried apple slices.
