Notes

Tips
  • For best results, make sure the pork chops are not crowded in the air fryer basket. This will ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
  • You can also marinate the pork chops for a few hours or overnight for more flavor. Refrigerate them in a ziplock bag with the marinade before cooking.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can also add some cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Don't have an air fryer? No problem! You can still make these thin pork chops in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F/200C, season as instructed, and cook for 12-15 minutes. There is no need to flip halfway through the cooking time.
