Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 second spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy crust.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly spray both sides of the pork chops with olive oil spray.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the pork chops in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer with space between them for air circulation.
Air fry the pork chops for 6 minutes on one side, then carefully flip them using tongs and air fry for an additional 6 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once done, remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite side dish and enjoy a healthy, low-fat meal.
