Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for chops that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and tender during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops can handle a variety of seasonings, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin. You can also use a pre-made pork chop seasoning blend.
- Preheat your air fryer: This will help the pork chops cook evenly. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes before cooking the pork chops.
- Cook the pork chops in batches: If you're cooking a lot of pork chops, you may need to cook them in batches. This will help prevent the air fryer from overcrowding and ensure that the pork chops cook evenly.
- Flip the pork chops halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly on both sides.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: They are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help them retain their juices and stay tender.
