Notes

  • Pork chops: It’s preferable to use thick pork chops, at least 1 inch/ 2 ½ cm and up to 2 inches – 5 cm thick. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops; make sure you check with the meat thermometer.
  • The smoked paprika I use is sweet and not hot. If using hot, adjust the amount to taste.
  • Substitute the spices with any other seasoning blend/ dry rub you like.
  • Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your pork chops and the specifications of your air fryer.
