Air Fryer Pork Chops

Ingredients

• •4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
• •2 tbsp olive oil
• •1 tbsp brown sugar
• •1 tsp smoked paprika
• •1 tsp garlic powder
• •1/2 tsp onion powder
• •1/2 tsp dried thyme
• •1 tsp salt
• •1/2 tsp black pepper
• •1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

1. 1Pat pork chops completely dry with paper towel — this is key for a good crust.
2. 2Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, pepper, and cayenne together in a small bowl.
3. 3Brush pork chops all over with olive oil, then rub the spice mixture evenly on both sides.
4. 4Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
5. 5Place pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
6. 6Air fry for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. 7Rest pork chops for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices.

💡 Boneless pork chops work too — reduce cooking time to 10–12 minutes. Avoid chops thinner than 3/4 inch as they dry out quickly in the air fryer.
