Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Drizzle with olive oil and rub in. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and rosemary. Mash together with a fork until evenly distributed. Set aside.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Spread half of the garlic herb butter over both sides of each pork chop.
  6. Place pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
  7. Air fry at 400°F for 5 minutes. Flip chops and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove pork chops from air fryer and immediately spread remaining garlic herb butter over the hot chops. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat the pork chops dry for best browning. Let chops come to room temperature before cooking. Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. For thicker chops (1.5 inches), increase cooking time to 14-16 minutes. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
