Ingredients
- 2 boneless or bone-in pork chops about 1-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard or use Dijon
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels for better browning. It also helps the seasoning stick.
- In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt.
- Brush both sides of the pork chops with olive oil and mustard. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer - do not overcrowd. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature hits 145°F (63°C). Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your pork chops and your air fryer model. Bone-in pork chops may need 1-2 minutes longer. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove to a plate and rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve.
