Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Pieces Boneless Pork Chops
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1.5 Tablespoons Oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Pat the pork chops dry and preheat the air fryer to 380°Fahrenheit (190°Celsius) so the basket is hot for even cooking.
  • Stir oil, brown sugar, dried sage, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  • Rub the seasoning mixture over both sides of the pork chops and let them rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavor.
  • Air fry the chops in a single layer for 5 minutes per side until they reach 145°Fahrenheit (63°Celsius), then rest briefly before serving.

Notes

  • Season well: Light seasoning is why most pork chops taste dull, so don’t hold back on salt and spices if you want real flavor.
  • Let the chops sit with the seasoning: Even 10–15 minutes makes a difference because the salt draws moisture in and helps the surface brown better.
  • Preheat the air fryer every time: Putting chops into a cold basket guarantees pale, soggy results, so get it hot before the meat goes in.
  • Don’t skip the rest time: Cutting too early drains the juices you worked for, so give the chops a few minutes to settle before serving.
