  • Place the seasoned pork chops in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching; you may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Air-fry the pork chops for 10 minutes, then flip each chop over using tongs, and air-fry for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should be at least 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite side dish.

Notes

  1. Choosing Pork Chops: Opt for boneless pork chops that are approximately 1-inch thick for the best results. Ensure they are fresh, pink, and have a bit of marbling.
  2. Seasoning Variations: Feel free to get creative by adding additional spices like garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder to the ranch seasoning for an extra flavor kick.
  3. Cooking Times Can Vary: Depending on your specific air fryer model and the thickness of your pork chops, cooking times might need slight adjustments. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork chops reach a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  4. Resting is Key: Allowing the pork chops to rest for a few minutes post-cooking ensures the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful meat.
