Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 chops Boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for about 3–5 minutes. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then rub both sides with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, fine sea salt, and black pepper. Coat both sides of each pork chop evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Arrange the seasoned pork chops in a single layer in the air-fryer basket, leaving space between them. Cook for 5–6 minutes.
  4. Turn the pork chops and cook for another 5–6 minutes. Check the thickest part with an instant-read thermometer and remove the chops when they reach 145°F (63°C).
  5. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and let them rest for 3–5 minutes before serving. Resting allows the juices to settle so each bite stays moist.

Notes

Use pork chops with a similar thickness for even cooking. Very thin chops may need less time, while thicker chops may need several additional minutes. Always use an instant-read thermometer rather than relying only on the clock, and avoid overcrowding the air-fryer basket.
