Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

2 8 ounce pork chops bone-in, 1.5" thick, rib eye cut
1 Tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt (preferably kosher salt)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400℉ for 5 minutes.
Pat the pork chops dry, place on a plate, and coat all over with the olive oil.
In a small bowl combine all the seasonings (paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper) and mix well to blend.
Generously coat the pork chops, including the sides, with the seasoning blend.
Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray or line it with a parchment air fryer liner.
Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket side by side, and cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
Remove when the internal temperature is 140℉.
Let the pork chops rest, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 145℉.

Notes

No meat thermometer? Use one of these tests:

Prick with a fork and check that the juices run clear
Press the top of the meat with your fingertip (or tongs). The pork should feel firm but spring back to shape with clear juices

This recipe was tested with an 8-ounce, 1.5 inch thick, rib eye cut, bone-in pork chop. (Rib eye cut has a curved bone in it). Boneless pork chops cook faster than bone-in chops.

Cook time is based on room-temperature meat (65˚F). If chops are colder you may need more time to reach 140˚F
