Tips:

Choose thick pork chops: Thicker pork chops will cook more evenly and stay juicy. Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
Preheat your air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to the desired temperature before cooking the pork chops. This will help the pork chops cook evenly.
Season the pork chops: Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a rub or marinade to the pork chops for extra flavor.
Cook the pork chops in batches: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the pork chops in batches if necessary to ensure that they cook evenly.
Flip the pork chops halfway through cooking: Flip the pork chops halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
Check the internal temperature of the pork chops: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. The pork chops are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork chops rest before serving: Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
