Air Fryer Pork Chops

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 14-18 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer (Low Intensity):
   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Season the Pork Chops (Medium Intensity):
   • In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
   • Rub the pork chops with olive oil and the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
3. Arrange in the Air Fryer (Low Intensity):
   • Place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook the pork chops in batches.
4. Air Fry (Medium-High Intensity):
   • Cook the pork chops at 375°F (190°C) for 14-18 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
5. Check for Doneness (Low Intensity):
   • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
6. Rest and Serve (Low Intensity):
   • Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Enjoy Your Air Fryer Pork Chops! (Low Intensity):

Optional: Drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze or serve with a side of applesauce for added flavor.
