Ingredients

• 4 boneless or bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes.
2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.

6. Air fry for 10–14 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

• Coleslaw
• Macaroni and cheese
• Garden salad

Tips

• Bone-in pork chops tend to stay juicier than boneless chops.
• Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even browning.
• For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in the garlic herb mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to keep them juicy.
