Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Rub each pork chop with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops, pressing the spices gently into the meat.
Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping, to ensure even cooking.
Air fry the pork chops at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, let the pork chops rest for about 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Finely chop the rosemary and thyme, and sprinkle over the rested pork chops before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo-friendly air fried pork chops!
