1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Pork Chops:
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil or melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Brush the marinade mixture onto both sides of the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
3. Air Fry the Pork Chops:
- Place the seasoned pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook the pork chops in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your pork chops.
- If desired, you can lightly spray the pork chops with cooking spray halfway through cooking to help them crisp up.
4. Rest and Serve:
- Once the pork chops are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the air-fried pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and crispy air-fried pork chops as a tasty main dish for any meal!
