HOW TO COOK PORK CHOPS IN AIR FRYER

The process for this air fryer pork chop recipe is a pretty easy one. And the air fryer really takes care of all the hard work.

So with that said, get out the ingredients, and let's make air fried pork chops!

STEP 1: MAKING THE DRY RUB

First things first, let's make the dry rub. To do that, add thee the garlic salt, oregano, onion powder, paprika, rosemary, sweetener, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of chili powder to a bowl. 

Then give all of the seasonings a good mix until everything combines. And when it does, you can set it aside for later.

STEP 2: PREPARING THE PORK CHOPS

Now take the pork chops out and pat both of the sides dry with a paper towel.

Then coat the pork chops in some olive oil and rub it into the meat. After that, evenly distribute the dry rub on the pork chops until you use all of it. 

Next, I like to stick this meat thermometer called "the meater" into one of the pork chops and set the thermometer to cook at 145°F. 

This meat thermometer is a bluetooth thermometer that will tell you on your phone the temperature of your meat the entire time you're cooking it. So it's pretty much impossible to undercook or overcook it!

STEP 3: AIR FRYING THE PORK CHOPS

Now, put the seasoned pork chops in the air fryer basket and air fry them at 400°F (205°C) for around 12 minutes. And you'll want to flip them halfway through cooking, so they evenly air fry on both sides.

Once each juicy air fryer pork chop reaches an internal temperature of 140°F, pull them out of the air fryer and let them rest until they reach 145°F to ensure they turn out super juicy.

Then when they do, serve them alone or with one of your favorite sides - like this sauteed eggplant recipe or this roasted kohlrabi - and enjoy these delicious pork chops!
