Air Fryer Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 2 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1 inch thick)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing or spraying)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground, or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon optional seasoning (such as garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs)

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
3. Lightly brush or spray the pork chops with oil to help with browning.
4. Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
5. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
6. Remove the pork chops and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
