Air Fryer Pork Chops

Cultural Context

Air fryer pork chops are a modern twist on a classic American dish, offering a healthier method of cooking that retains juiciness while achieving a crispy exterior. This dish has gained popularity due to the air fryer's ability to produce fried-like textures without the excess oil. Today, air fryer recipes are embraced by home cooks for their convenience and efficiency, making them a staple in many households.

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Ground oats provide a healthier option while crushed crackers are often more economical.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and dairy-free, while pecorino is often less expensive.

1

Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F.

2

Pat the pork chops dry on both sides. Coat the outsides with olive oil.

3

In a medium bowl, combine the rub ingredients: chili powder, coriander, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Rub all over both sides of the pork.

4

Lay the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket; do not overlap them (if they both do not fit in a single layer, cook them in batches). Air fry for 5 minutes, then with tongs, carefully flip the chops.

5

Continue cooking for 4 to 7 additional minutes, or until the meat registers between 135 and 140 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. If your pork chops are boneless, start checking 2 minutes earlier to ensure they do not overcook.

6

Remove the pork chops to a plate. Cover and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot with warmed barbecue sauce as desired.
