- 8 oz pork chops (four) bone-in center-cut
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Preheat your air fryer to 380ºF for 5 minutes.
Lightly brush both sides of each pork chop with olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then rub evenly onto both sides of the pork chops.
Place pork chops in the air fryer and cook for 9-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached.
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This guarantees juiciness while ensuring food safety.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation for crisping.
- Leftover air fryer pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes until warmed through.
