Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time12 minutes
2 Servings

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in pork chops about ¾ pound each and 1” thick
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced sage or ½ teaspon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic or ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer using the preheat function or by heating it at 350ºF/176ºC for 5 minutes.
  • Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and set them aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the butter, olive oil, sage, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard powder.
  • Rub the spiced butter evenly over both sides of the pork chops and place them in the air fryer.
  • Cook at 370ºF/187ºC for 12-15 minutes, or until your desired doneness (see notes). Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes in the air fryer.
  • Enjoy immediately, with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Choose the right chops. This recipe will work perfectly with bone-in chops that are 1 inch thick. If they are thinner or thicker you'll need to adjust the cooking time. You can also use this recipe to make thick boneless pork chops, but keep an eye on them because they will cook a bit quicker.
  • Trim away the fat. Because the chops cook so quickly in the air fryer, there isn't enough time for the fat to render down. While some fat on your pork chops is ideal, you should trim away any really thick pieces.
  • No Need to Flip. The air fryer will cook the chops from both sides using circulating air, so there's no need to flip them over!
  • Leftovers: Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
