Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Pat dry the pork chops with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps to ensure they get crispy in the air fryer. Season both sides of the pork chops generously with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the pork chops and rub the seasonings into the meat.
Place the seasoned pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they're not overcrowded. If necessary, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
Cook the pork chops in the preheated air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops and the specific model of your air fryer. To ensure they're cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
