Recipes Pork Chops Air Fryer

If you’re looking for low-carb dinners to make in the Air Fryer, this recipe for Air Fryer Pork Chops is a must-try! This just might become one of your favorite ways to cook pork chops!

I’m always interested in quick and easy low-carb dinners, and after we loved Air Fryer Pork Loin Roast so much, Kara and I decided to try making pork chops in the Air Fryer. And these Air Fryer Pork Chops were definitely a wow!

I divided the leftovers up with Kara like I always do, and then I ended up eating my leftover pork chop cold from the fridge the next morning, so you know the pork chops were really tasty!

You want to use thick bone-in pork chops for this recipe for best results, and we used pork chops that were more than an inch thick. Thin pork chops will dry out in the Air Fryer.

I mixed up a rub that included Penzey’s Pork Chop Seasoning (a product I’ve loved for years), sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried sage, and those ingredients really added flavor to the pork chops. If you don’t have the Penzey’s Pork Chops Seasoning, use any rub that’s good on pork. (And Penzey’s isn’t paying me to promote their product and I bought it myself, in case anyone is wondering!)

You might have to experiment with the exact cooking time for your Air Fryer model. The best way to tell when they’re done is to use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer (affiliate link) to cook the pork chops just until they reached 145F/65C. But overall, this recipe is simple and pretty foolproof!

I became a big Air Fryer fan after I discovered the Cuisinart Convection Air Fryer Toaster Oven (affiliate link) which is what I used for this recipe. This air fryer has a larger basket, which lets me fit four big pork chops, and I find this model very easy to use. I also like the convenience of having an air fryer that stays out on the counter.

Use any rub that's made for pork if you don't have Penzey's Pork Chop Seasoning, but the Penzey's Pork Chop Seasoning is really great!

Kara and I looked at Air Fryer Recipes online when we started testing this recipe, but it was the use of Penzeys Pork Chop Seasoning that really made these good!

Per the FDA, pork is considered safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. I typically remove my pork around the 135-140 degrees F, cover it, then let the carry-over cooking finish the rest.

I opted to make these simple air fryer pork chops (no breading); if you’d like to see a crispy breaded version from me in the future, be sure to leave a comment below. I am listening!

While the meat rests, make a batch of Air Fryer Cauliflower or Air Fryer Broccoli to serve as crispy, delicious side dishes!

Leftovers make a delicious addition to so many meals. Try diced-up pork chops with your Homemade Fried Rice, Chicken Nachos, Crock Pot Baked Potatoes (delicious with some barbecue sauce), or Moroccan Couscous.

If your air fryer pork chops are tough, it’s likely because they are overcooked. To make sure your pork chops are juicy and tender, remove them at 135 to 140 degrees F and let them rest for 10 minutes.

While these pork chops do have a little kick from the spice rub, they are not overly spicy. If you want your pork chops to be less spicy, you can adjust the seasonings to your tastes.

Yes, you can swap the seasonings in this recipe for another spice rub you prefer. I think Cajun air fryer pork chops (using Cajun seasoning) or air fryer pork chops with herbs and Parmesan would be delicious. You could also simply add in some garlic powder or onion powder. (Marinated pork chops in the air fryer would be tasty too.)

I do not recommend using thin pork chops, as they will dry out quickly. This recipe was designed for thick-cut pork chops, so the times listed will not work well for thin-cut ones. If you decide to experiment with thin air fryer pork chops, start checking several minutes earlier to gauge their progress.
