Cooking Pork Chops in an air fryer is quick and convenient. Here’s a simple guide:
Ingredients:
- Pork Chops
- Olive oil (optional)
- Seasonings of your choice (salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika or whatever rocks your taste buds)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.
- Pat the Pork Chops dry with a paper towel. Brush them with olive oil to help the seasonings stick.
- Season the Pork Chops on both sides with your preferred seasoning.
- Place the seasoned Pork Chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper air circulation.
- Cook the Pork Chops in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cooking times may vary based on the Pork Chops’ thickness and your air fryer’s specific model.
- Once cooked, let the Pork Chops rest for a few minutes before serving; it helps retain their juices.
- Plate your air-fried Pork Chops and enjoy them with your favourite sides.
If you don’t have an air fryer, use your oven for juicy Pork Chops. Here are the guidelines for Pork Chops in the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 190°C.
- Pat the Pork Chops dry with a paper towel. This helps them sear better and promotes a nice crust.
- Brush the Pork Chops with olive oil on both sides. Season generously with salt, pepper, and other preferred herbs or spices. Rub the seasonings into the meat for even flavour.
- For an extra layer of flavour, you can sear the Pork Chops in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes on each side. This step is optional, but it gives the Chops a nice crust.
- Place the seasoned Pork Chops on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe pan.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the Pork Chops.
- Once cooked, let the Pork Chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
