This recipe doesn’t require any marinade or time-intensive prep work.
The recipe I found from blogger Chewable Structures couldn’t be easier.
After rinsing off the pork chops and patting them dry, all I needed to do was coat each one with a drizzle of olive oil and give it a little massage.
Next, I had to season the chops. The recipe suggests using the McCormick chipotle-and-roasted-garlic seasoning. But you can easily create your own blend depending on what you like.
I made one with salt, pepper, roasted garlic, onion powder, and chipotle pepper.
After preheating the air fryer, the chops are ready to start cooking.
The only other prep work I had to do for the recipe was preheat my air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
No matter what type of air fryer you have, just be sure to give each pork chop enough room in the basket.
My air fryer has two baskets, so I cooked one pork chop in each basket for 10 minutes on one side and five minutes on the other.
My best tip is to choose thin pork chops.
Because the meat was sliced thin, my pork chops cooked up very quickly. Plus, the bone-in aspect of the cut I chose definitely made the meat more flavorful.
This recipe works with thicker chops, but you’ll need to increase the cooking time.
The pork chops were ready super quick and tasted amazing.
The meat cooked up within 15 minutes and, just like the recipe said, the pork chops retained their moisture thanks to the olive-oil coating.
This coating also allowed the seasoning to stick to the meat better, creating a nice seasoned crust on the chop.
I will definitely be making this quick, easy recipe again.
