Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 thin cut boneless pork chops, trimmed, 1-inch thick
- 1 scant Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- If needed, preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Trim the fat off of the pork chops. For thick pork chops, cut the pork chop in half or in thirds, depending on the thickness, to have 1-inch thick pork chops. Rub the pork chops on both sides with the olive oil (you may not need to use it all).
- Combine the brown sugar, paprika, granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, thyme, and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the seasonings into both sides of the pork chops.
- Add the pork chops to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping the pork chops over at 5 minutes. Remove from the air fryer basket and serve.
