Ingredients

  • Easy Pork Chop Marinade:
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Easy Baked Pork Chops:
  • 1 tsp celtic sea salt
  • 1 tsp Fresh cracked pepper
  • 4 pork chops

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, pork chops, salt, and pepper to a ziploc bag and marinate for at least 3 hours, and up to overnight. 
  2. Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees.
  3. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. 
  4. Add pork chops to air fryer basket, without crowding the pan.
  5. Close oven and cook to browned on one side - about 7 minutes. 
  6. Flip pork chops and place back in air fryer. 
  7. After 6 minutes, check pork's temperature. If pork chops are thinner, they cook much faster - pork chops are done when they are 145 degrees internally. 
  8. If pork chops are not done, keep cooking until they are (cooking time will vary widely based on the thickness of your pork chop, whether or not there is a bone, etc. - so I find it's best to go from temperature instead of time.) 
  9. When pork is 145 degrees internally, remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
