Ingredients

30 ounces boneless pork loin chops 6 five-ounce pork chops
1¼ teaspoons kosher salt
1¼ teaspoons smoked paprika
½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon chipotle powder or chili powder
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat your air fryer to 400°F for about 5 minutes.
Pat dry the pork chops with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Add the salt, paprika, pepper, onion and garlic powder, and the chipotle or chili powder to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Brush both sides of the pork chops with olive oil.
Season both sides of the chops with the seasonings.
Generously spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; if necessary, cook them in batches.
Cook the pork chops in the air fryer for about 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chops and your air fryer model. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
Once done, remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

You can line your basket with parchment paper instead of using cooking spray if you prefer. This keeps the pork from sticking and makes clean up a breeze.
For the best pork chops with a crispy exterior, try to leave some room between each of the chops. This lets the air circulate between them for more even cooking. If you need to, work in batches.
Your cook time will vary depending on the thickness of your chops and your air fryer model. The best way to check for doneness is to use an instant-read thermometer.
