If I didn’t love my air fryer before cooking pork chops in the air fryer would have made me a believer! These air fryer pork chops were perfectly tender, juicy, and packed full of flavor after just 9 minutes in the air fryer.
This recipe is super versatile too. Once you master cooking your boneless pork chops in the air fryer you can season them any way you like. I highly recommend our baked ranch pork chops…soooo good!

Ingredients You’ll Need
- Pork chops – This recipe is for boneless pork chops in the air fryer. We use pork chops that are approximately 1 inch thick. If you use thicker chops or ones with the bone in you will need to increase the cook time. If you master this recipe and want to try a different cut of meat try our air fryer pork tenderloin.
- Olive oil
- Spices – similar to our air fryer chicken breast and air fryer chicken thighs recipe we kept it simple with a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. You can change it up with any of your favorite seasoning mixes or try our blackening seasoning, taco seasoning, fajita seasoning, or BBQ dry rub.
Instructions
- Brush the pork chops with a light coating of olive oil and then rub your spice mix into them.
- Working in batches place your pork chops in the airy fryer basket. Do not stack the pork chops, place them side-by-side.
- Set the temperature to 375 degrees F and the timer to 9 minutes. Start cooking the pork chops.
- Halfway through stop the timer and remove the basket, flipping the pork chops over. Replace the basket and start timer.
- When done check the internal temperature to ensure that it is 145 degrees F and then remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
I couldn’t believe how tender and juicy these pork chops were! When I cook pork chops in the oven I always have to worry about drying them out but with the air fryer they come out perfectly cooked every time.
Pork chops make a great weeknight meals. Don’t stop with the air fryer we’ve got Instant Pot pork chops with mushrooms, Instant Pot pork roast and gravy, apple pecan stuffed pork chops, and these sheet pan spicy BBQ pork chops and potatoes.
How Long Do You Cook Pork Chops in the Air Fryer?
Fresh – If you are cooking fresh pork chops in the air fryer you’ll cook them at 375 degrees F for 9 minutes.
Frozen – Yep, you read that right, you can cook frozen pork chops in the air fryer! If you are cooking frozen pork chops you’ll cook them at 375 degrees F for 10-14 minutes.
This timing relies heavily on the size of your pork chop. If your chops are thicker or have the bone in you’ll need to cook them longer.
Make sure to have an instant read thermometer on hand so you’ll know when they are cooked through. You’ll know your pork chops are done by using your thermometer to check that the the internal temperature is 145 degrees F.
What Size Pork Chops Should You Use?
I used 1 inch thick, boneless pork chops for this recipe. If you use a thicker pork chop, or ones with the bone in you may need to add additional time. Start with an additional 2 minutes and use your meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked all the way through.

Good seasoning, times are off for my air fryer
Love my Ninja Foodi but on this recipe are you supposed to preheat for a few minutes before you cook them. Mine were not done at 9 minutes I had to add an additional 4 minutes to get the correct internal temperature so a total of 13 minutes. Please let me know if you’re supposed to preheat before thank you.
I always think it helps to preheat but I didn’t find it necessary for this recipe. It could be that your pork chops were just a little thicker than ours.
Seasoning is good but had to cook longer than recommended time. I did preheat my air fryer prior to adding in the pork chops.
Different air fryers and thickness vary for cooking time. Just make sure your internal temp is 145 degrees.
Can i use vegetable oil to replace olive oil
