These chops are easy to make and come out tasting delicious!
HOW TO AIR FRY PORK CHOPS
This recipe makes 4 servings. Based on the size of my air fryer, I was able to cook two pork chops at a time. It only takes about 5 minutes to prep the pork chops and then 10-15 minutes per batch for a total of 20-30 minutes of cooking time.
To make this easy dinner recipe, you will need these ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cajun seasoning
The Cajun seasoning is a personal preference. The mix of sweet with a kick is delicious!
You could also season with your favorites or just salt and pepper. Some other seasonings that work well with pork chops include paprika, cumin, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. Parmesan cheese is also a delicious addition to a seasoning mixture.
You can also make this recipe using boneless chops. Just shorten the cooking time a bit. You’ll know the chops are done when they reach 145°.
AIR FRYER PORK CHOP RECIPE
- Brush both sides of each pork chop with olive oil.
- Sprinkle half the brown sugar and half the Cajun seasoning on the top of the pork chops and rub it into the meat. You can also combine the sugar and seasoning in a bowl then sprinkle them both together.
- Repeat on the other side of the pork chops. You want to coat both sides of the pork chop generously.
- Place two pork chops in a single layer inside the air fryer basket and cook at 375° for 15 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through the cooking time.
- Repeat with the two remaining pork chops.
Remember that you want to cook pork until the internal temperature reaches 145° to ensure that it’s safe to eat. So check your pork chops with a meat thermometer while they’re cooking as cook time varies from air fryer to air fryer.
Pork chops are delicious with mashed potatoes and veggies or just a basic salad. You can also make an air fryer side dish that pairs well including Air Fryer Baked Potatoes and Air Fryer Broccoli.
HOW LONG TO COOK PORK CHOPS IN AIR FRYER
If you’re cooking bone-in pork chops, I recommend cooking them for 10-15 minutes.
For boneless pork chops, you may find you don’t need as long. So I would cook them for at least 10 minutes and then check the internal temperature.
