How To Make Air Fryer Ranch Pork Chops

Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps them get crispy in the air fryer.

Season the Pork Chops: Brush both sides of the pork chops with olive oil. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly on both sides of the pork chops.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.

Cook the Pork Chops: Place the seasoned pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set cook time for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy on the outside, and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!

Air Fryer Ranch Pork Chops Recipe Tips

🌿 Even Coating: Ensure the ranch seasoning is evenly distributed by patting the pork chops dry first. This helps the seasoning stick better.
🍽️ Bone-In vs. Boneless: Bone-in pork chops may take a bit longer to cook, so check for an internal temperature of 145°F.
🧴 Oil for Crispiness: Don’t skip the olive oil! It helps the pork chops crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
⏱️ Flip Halfway: Flip the pork chops halfway through cooking for an even, golden crisp on both sides.
🍴 Rest Before Serving: Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping them tender.

Storing

🧊 Storing: Store leftover Air Fryer Ranch Pork Chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the pork chops to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

❄️ Freezing: To freeze, place the cooled pork chops in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

🔥 Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 4-5 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. You can also use the microwave, but the texture won’t be as crispy.

What To Serve With Air Fryer Ranch Pork Chops

Air Fryer Ranch Pork Chops pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. For a balanced meal, serve them with roasted vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or zucchini.

A side of mashed potatoes or creamy mashed cauliflower adds a comforting touch, while a fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette brings a refreshing contrast. You could also serve them with rice or quinoa for an easy, filling side to complete the dish!
