Using an Air Fryer

Growing up my mom always fried pork chops. It was just the way we fixed pork chops. Now that we have been introduced with new kitchen appliances, I had to make these boneless pork chops.

I made them for my mom one evening, and she was amazed how good they were. I was so happy that I wasn’t standing over a frying pan. Plus I think it is better for you than cooking the pork chops in all that grease.

My favorite part is, my kids can make these too. The ingredients are simple and the process is too.

Ingredients

• Boneless Pork Chops (approximately 1 1/2-2 inches thick)
• Paprika
• Salt
• Pepper
• Ground Mustard
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder
• Olive Oil

How to make Boneless Pork Chops in the Air Fryer

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F. If your air fryer does not have a preheat option, then run the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes to warm up the air fryer.
• Stir all the seasonings together in a small bowl.
• Then coat the pork chops with the olive oil and then rub the seasoning mixture into both sides of the pork chops. Use all of the rub for the pork chops.

• Place the seasoned pork chops in the air fryer basket and make sure that they are not overlapping (you may have to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer and the size of the pork chops).
• Cook for 12-15 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F. If your air fryer doesn’t circulate to cook both sides, every 6 minutes flip pork chops.

• Let the pork rest for 3-5 minutes and then serve.

How Long Does it Take

You will be surprised how fast the pork chops cook in the air fryer. Cooking time will vary but it should be done in about 12 to 15 minutes.

We use a meat thermometer to make sure that the pork is cooked. The air fried Pork Chops center needs to reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

What temperature do you put the air fryer on?

We set our air fryer to a temperature of 400 degrees F. I find that it cooks perfectly at this temperature. The skin is crispy and the center is juicy.

It is cooked to perfection.

Cooking Tips:

• I did not flip the pork chops as the air in my air fryer is able to circulate to all sides of the pork chops including the bottom. If the air in your air fryer does not circulate under the pork chops, then you would want to flip the pork chops halfway through the cooking time.

• I find that it’s best to use a meat thermometer when cooking pork to make sure it’s done without being overcooked.

• If you are looking to add a little spice to your pork chops, you can add some red pepper flakes. I love adding it as it adds just the right amount of spice to the pork chops.

• If you are cooking pork chops for your family make sure when placing the pork chops in the air fryer that you give room for the air to circulate. Make sure not to stack pork chops on top of each other. This ensure that your pork chops are cooked thoroughly and taste the best.

Can you make ahead?

Yes, you can. Anytime we are cooking meat, I like to let the meat marinate in the seasoning. It helps for the seasoning to really stick to the meat for better flavor.

If I have time, I will prepare the meat in the morning and place in the refrigerator. Then it is ready to go for dinner when I am ready to cook it.
