1

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for about 5 minutes.

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 1.5 teaspoons of fresh ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of ground mustard, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder to make the rub.

3

Mix the rub until the brown sugar is completely incorporated.

4

Coat each pork chop with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil, ensuring they are completely covered.

5

Apply the rub to the pork chops, pressing it down to ensure it sticks and covers all sides, including the fat.

6

Place the coated pork chops in an air fryer liner.

7

Set the air fryer basket to cook for 12 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the pork chops, aiming for an internal temperature of 150°F.

After 18 minutes, check the internal temperature of the pork chops; they should be around 150°F to 152°F.
