That's right! Pork chops in the air fryer. Let me tell you why you need to be doing this ASAP!
- It's lightening fast! This air fryer pork chop recipe can be accomplished in well under 20 minutes from start to finish.
- It's completely customizable! You only need a few simple ingredients to pull this dish off AND you can swap out seasonings to whatever you fancy or with whatever you have in your pantry.

What type of air fryer to use?
I absolutely love my air fryer. No, I'm not getting paid to say this. I highly recommend you check out OMORC's selection of air fryers.
I have the OMORC 6 Quart Air Fryer. You will find now a newer version of this Air Fryer.
It's big enough to definitely feed a family of 4+. Some air fryers are so small that you can barely make enough of something to fill a coffee cup up with.
I love that the parts that need to be washed are dishwasher safe, so clean up is so incredibly easy! It's a HUGE perk of this thing.
It's got a pretty simple yet convenient touchscreen that allows you to not only easily set your temperature and time, but there are other functions like the "keep warm" button that can come in really handy.
What type of vegetables to serve with Air Fryer Pork Chops?
I love to put the Air Fryer Asparagus or Air Fryer Vegetables recipe in with these pork chops for a one-pot dinner the entire family enjoys.
These air fried pork chops also go wonderfully with:
- Quick Teriyaki Green Beans
- Parmesan Quinoa
- Bleu Cheese Green Beans
- Fiery Campfire Veggies
- Simple Caprese Risotto
Ingredients to Make Air Fryer Pork Chops:
I recommend using just a few simple ingredients. You can mix it up with the seasonings depending on your mood!
- 4 pork chops
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar, or brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
How To Cook Pork Chops in Air Fryer:
- Take out a large plate and spread your thoroughly-mixed sugar, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika over the entire plate.
- Place each pork chop on the plate, allowing the seasoning to cover each chop.
- Flip the chop over and allow the seasoning to coat the other side of the pork chop.
- Place the seasoned pork chop in the air fryer. Do this to each pork chop.
- Cook your pork chops in the air fryer at 400*F for 10-12 minutes (flipping carefully over once) or until the inside of each chop has reached 160*F.
