Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 lime zested
  • 4 thick-cut pork chops
  • Cilantro optional
  • Lime wedges optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. 
  • Combine the chili powder, garlic powder, salt, sugar, and lime zest in a bowl.* Spray your pork chops with olive oil cooking spray and then cover each pork chop completely with the seasoning. 
  • Play them into the air fryer with a little space around them and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. You may need to cook in batches. If you have varying thicknesses in your pork chops, then use a meat thermometer on your smallest pork chop and set it at 145 degrees F.
  • Allow pork chops to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. 
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*You can also use 1 ½ tablespoon store-bought chili lime seasoning instead of homemade seasoning. I use Trader Joe's chile lime seasoning.

How to Reheat Thick Cut Pork Chops in the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
  2. Lay the leftover chops in a single layer.
  3. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes until heated through.
