Air Fryer Ranch Pork Chops

Yes! If you have a larger air fryer you can most likely fit all of the pork chops together; otherwise cook in batches. You do not want to overcrowd the air fryer or the chops won’t cook evenly.

The pork chops are best when they have had time to soak in the spices. It’s also what is going to help keep them juicy.

You can. I would not recommend using thin cut boneless. They have a tendency to get a bit too dry when cooked in the air fryer. You can cook regular boneless pork chops at 375F degrees for 9 minutes (flipping halfway through).

No, the marinade texture is a cross between a rub and a marinade. You might need to rub the bag around in your hands to get the spices evenly coated.

These will be done when an instant read kitchen thermometer reads 160F degrees. Don’t cook any longer or the pork will dry out.

Since this recipe does not include breading, you are not required to spray since they are less likely to stick. If you don’t have a nonstick air fryer basket, then I would recommend spraying with a nonstick cooking spray (olive oil or coconut oil spray only).

Some recipes will call for you to preheat your air fryer but for this specific recipe you do not have to.

For this recipe, I tested it with Center Cut Bone-In Pork Chops.

Some ideas would be a salad, some steamed vegetables, Stove Top Mac and Cheese, Brussel Sprouts, or perhaps some Maple Glazed Carrots.

You can use regular paprika, but keep in mind, you won’t get the same depth of flavor. I don’t recommend using liquid smoke as a replacement.

Cook on a baking sheet in a 450F degree oven for about 14-16 minutes. The best way to know when pork shops are cooked properly is when the internal temperature reaches 145F degrees. If you cook them too long they will dry out and get tough.

These can be stored in an airtight container or ziptop bag in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place back in the air fryer and cook at 375F degrees for 3-5 minutes.
