Air Fryer Thin Pork Chops
Cook a budget-friendly package of thin cut pork chops in your air fryer in under 10 minutes. This tender cut of pork is perfect for enjoying next to your favorite side dishes, on a bed of spinach as a simple dinner salad, or layered into a quick and easy pork sandwich.
Ingredients
- 10 thin-cut boneless pork chops about 2.5 pounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons seasoning *see notes
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 450°F.
- Place the pork chops on a clean plate. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and turn the chops to coat in the oil. Sprinkle your seasoning of choice over both sides of the chops.
- Arrange the pork chops in a single layer on the baking pan for your air fryer. If using a basket-style air fryer, you'll need to work in batches so they cook evenly.
