Why Make Air Fryer Pork Chops
- Quick and Efficient: The air fryer cooks pork chops evenly and in less time than traditional methods, making dinner a breeze.
- Healthier Option: Achieve a perfectly crispy exterior with minimal oil, making it a lighter alternative to pan-frying.
- Juicy and Flavorful: The circulating hot air locks in moisture while creating a deliciously golden crust, ensuring tender and tasty pork chops every time.
Ingredients
- Boneless Pork Chops: These tender cuts of pork cook quickly and evenly in the air fryer, making them perfect for a juicy and flavorful main dish.
- Oil: A light coating of oil helps the pork chops develop a golden, crispy exterior while staying moist inside.
- Seasoning Mix (Greek Seasoning): Adds a burst of Mediterranean flavor with a blend of herbs and spices, elevating the taste of the pork chops with minimal effort.
Variations
- Parmesan Crusted: Combine grated Parmesan with breadcrumbs and coat the pork chops after oiling for a crispy, cheesy exterior.
- Herb and Garlic: Mix dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic into the oil for a fragrant touch before cooking.
- BBQ Style: Before cooking, brush the pork chops with your favorite BBQ sauce for a smoky, sweet flavor.
How To Cook Pork Chops In the Air Fryer
Step One: Coat the pork chops completely in oil. Sprinkle the seasoning generously over all sides of the chops until fully covered. Place the seasoned pork chops either in a pan that fits your air fryer or directly on the air fryer basket.
Step Two: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Cook the pork chops for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the chops to cook the other side. Continue cooking for another 8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Note: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
Step Three: Remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices and flavor.
Step Four: Serve the rested pork chops warm with your favorite sides!
Expert Tips To Air Fry Pork Chops Perfectly
- Pat Dry First: Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel before seasoning to help the spices stick better.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Give the pork chops space in the air fryer to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Add a Quick Sear: For extra caramelization, sear the pork chops in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes before air frying.
How To Store Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Cool the pork chops completely and store them in an airtight container. They will last for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
- Freeze: Wrap the pork chops individually in foil or plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight when ready to eat.
- Reheat: To keep them moist, reheat the pork chops in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes or until heated through.

Vegetable Sides: Pair with a mix of roasted or steamed vegetables like Asparagus, Broccoli, or Stuffed Bell Peppers.
Starches: Serve alongside Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Carrot Rice, or Buttery Cornbread.
