Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Small bowl
  • Spoon or brush for applying marinade
  • Tongs (optional, for flipping pork chops)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bone-in pork chops
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.5 tablespoons oil

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together salt, dried sage, garlic powder, brown sugar, black pepper, and oil. This will create a flavorful marinade that will coat your pork chops and give them the perfect balance of savory and sweet.
  • Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you preheat the air fryer. This gives the flavors a chance to soak into the meat.
  • Set your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures that the pork chops cook evenly and get that beautiful, crispy texture.
  • Place the marinated pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook them at 380°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
  • Once the pork chops are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the air fryer. Let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping them juicy and tender.
