1-Getting started: Getting started with this recipe is a breeze, and I’ll walk you through it like we’re chatting in the kitchen. First, take your pork chops out of the fridge and pat them dry with paper towels this helps get that crispy finish we all love.

2-Next: mix up the seasoning in a small bowl: that’s 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, 1 ½ teaspoons fresh ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon ground mustard, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Coat the pork chops with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then rub on that seasoning mix generously.

3-Preheat: your air fryer to 400°F for about 5 minutes to make sure it’s hot and ready. Place the seasoned chops in the basket, cooking them at 400°F for 12 to 14 minutes, and flip them at around 6 minutes for even results.

4-Don’t forget: to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer aim for 140°F, as it will rise to 145°F while resting. Let them sit for a couple of minutes before serving to lock in those juices. For adaptations, if you’re going vegan, try cooking plant-based alternatives for 10-12 minutes at the same temperature.
