Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 chops, 6-8 ounces each Boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Optional
  • 1 teaspoon Brown sugar

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and trim excess fat if desired. Rub both sides with olive oil.
  2. Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, and optional brown sugar in a small bowl. Coat both sides of each pork chop evenly.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 to 5 minutes if required by your appliance. Arrange the pork chops in a single layer with space between each one.
  4. Air-fry for 5 to 7 minutes, then carefully turn each chop. Continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Check the thickest part of the pork with an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chops when they reach 145°F.
  6. Let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving. This gives the juices time to settle so each bite stays moist.

Notes

Thickness matters more than weight. Thin chops can finish in 7 to 10 minutes, while thick or bone-in chops may need 14 to 18 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer rather than time alone, and avoid overcrowding the basket.
