    • Pork Chops-I like to get mine from Butcher Box. Every month they send me a monthly supply of all of my favorite proteins: chicken, fish, pork, beef! I love having their stuff handy in the freezer because I do not have to worry about it spoiling in the fridge. If you use my link HERE you can get something extra free every month with your order. 
    • Onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika-This will give these pork chops some flavor!
    • Cooking spray oil-To prevent the pork chops from sticking. I prefer avocado oil spray.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Expert Tips

    • Tip # 1: You can cook the pork chops with this seasoning when thawed as well, you will just need to adjust the cooking time.
    • Tip # 2: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
    • Tip # 3: You can baste the pork chops with different sauces after they come out of the air fryer to add additional flavor.

    Recipe FAQ

    Can I Marinate Pork Chops Cooked in the Air Fryer?

    Yes! You can, however, I suggest sticking to a dry rub marinate to keep the pork chops crispy on the outside. With that said, a nice sauce would go so nicely with these air fried pork chops on the side.

    How Can I Reheat?

    I suggest reheating in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes.

    What Should I Serve This Recipe With?

    I like to pair this with my crispy mini potatoes with paleo garlic aioli.

    Storage Instructions

    • This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 days in an air tight container.
