Air Fryer Italian Pork Chops
Description
Bone-in pork chops rubbed with olive oil, oregano, basil, rosemary and garlic, air fried at 400°F in 10 minutes. No breading, no marinating, juicy every time.
Ingredients
- 4 thin-cut bone-in pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick, about 1 pound total
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon flake salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Grated Parmesan and chopped fresh parsley, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pat the pork chops dry on both sides with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, stir together the oregano, parsley, basil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Drizzle the chops with the olive oil, then press the herb mixture onto both sides.
- Place the chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Cook in two batches if needed.
- Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part away from the bone reads 145°F (63°C). Thick-cut chops (1 inch) need 12 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and rest for 3 minutes. Top with Parmesan and parsley if using, and serve.
Equipment
- Instant-read meat thermometer
Notes
- Boneless chops cook 1 to 2 minutes faster than bone-in of the same thickness.
- To use store-bought Italian seasoning, replace the four dried herbs with 2 tablespoons of the blend.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 to 8 minutes.
