air fryer pork chops

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Pork Chops (bone-in, 1 inch thick)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels.
2. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
4. Heat olive oil in an air fryer (400°F / 200°C).
5. Place pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
6. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
7. Air fry for 8-10 minutes per side for medium doneness (internal temperature of 145°F / 63°C). Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.
8. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, spray the pork chops with apple cider vinegar.
9. Remove from air fryer and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

• For best results, use bone-in, pork chops as they retain more moisture.
• Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket – cook in batches if necessary.
• To prevent sticking, lightly oil the air fryer basket before adding the pork chops.
• Resting the pork chops allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
• Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw.
