Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Mix the rub:
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper.
Spread the rub generously over both sides of the pork chops, pressing it in gently.
Cook:
Place pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed, they should not overlap. Flip chops after 5 minutes. The total cooking time will be 7-12 minutes. Check for doneness starting at 7 minutes (especially for thinner chops!).
Check doneness:
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F. Let them rest for 3 minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.
Pour any accumulated juices from the bottom of the air fryer over the chops before serving. Yum!
