Ingredients
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 ½ teaspoons paprika (sweet or smoked*)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 boneless pork chops (1-inch thick, or bone-in pork chops)
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, onion powder and black pepper. Preheat air fryer at 400° F for 5 minutes. Pat the pork chops dry. Rub both sides with the olive oil. Rub the seasoning mix over all sides of the pork chops. Place pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer (cook in two batches if needed). To cook boneless pork chops: Air fry at 400° F for 5 minutes. Then flip the pork chops over and continue to cook for 3-7 more minutes, until the internal temperature of the center of the pork chops is 145° F. To cook bone-in pork chops: Air fry at 400° F for 5 minutes. Then flip the pork chops over and continue to cook for 6-10 more minutes, until the internal temperature of the center of the pork chops is 145° F. Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes and then serve
