Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (optional for extra crispiness)
Directions
Step 1
Start by patting the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Rub each pork chop with olive oil on both sides, then evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over each one. If using breadcrumbs, press the breadcrumbs onto each pork chop to create a light coating.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 6
Air fry the pork chops at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Step 8
Serve the air-fried pork chops warm with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
