Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Remove pork chops from fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Pat very dry.
- 2
Rub with olive oil. Mix all seasonings and coat chops generously on all sides.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 14-16 minutes, flipping halfway, until internal temp reaches 145°F.
- 4
Top with butter and fresh thyme. Rest 5 minutes.
- 5
Serve with your favorite sides.
Tip: Bone-in chops are more forgiving than boneless — the bone conducts heat and keeps the meat juicier. Always use an instant-read thermometer. The USDA lowered safe pork temp to 145°F; don't overcook to 165°F or they'll be dry.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 16 minutes vs ~29 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
