Honey Garlic Air Fryer Pork Chops
Delicious juicy pork chops in a honey garlic sauce perfect for gluten-free and paleo diets.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Season both sides of your pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Place your pork chops in a single layer in your air fryer. They can be touching, but make sure they lay flat on the bottom of the basket.
- Cook the pork chops for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until they reach 145 degrees F. The thicker your pork chops, the longer it will take to cook thoroughly.
- While cooking the pork chops, you can put your sauce together. Place olive oil in a small pan over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant, usually 30 seconds to a minute.
- Add the lemon juice, sweet chili sauce, and honey to the pan and mix until combined*
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until thickened (3-4 minutes).The mixture will become a thicker consistency as it sits.**
- Place pork chops in a serving dish and glaze sauce over top of them. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
*Heat is intended to be mild. Add more sweet chili sauce or a spicier chili sauce to bring the heat up if desired
**If you like your sauce a little thicker, mix together 1 Tbsp corn starch with 1 Tbsp water in a small bowl.
Pour the mixture into the sauce and stir well to combine and let simmer another 1-2 minutes.
