Chuletas de cerdo fáciles en freidora de aire

Ingredientes

• 4 bone-in center-cut pork chops (boneless pork chops may be used; watch the cooking time because they'll likely cook faster)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil (divided)
• 2 teaspoons paprika ((smoked paprika may be used))
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (or to taste)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper (or to taste)
• Fresh parsley (finely minced; optional for garnishing (or other fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, thyme, etc.))
• 4 pats of butter; optional for garnishing

Preparación

1. 1

   If your air fryer needs to be preheated, preheat it to 380F.

2. 2

   Blot the pork chops with a paper towel to remove moisture from the surface and then evenly rub all of the chops on all sides with oil; set aside momentarily.

3. 3

   To a small bowl, add the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, stir to combine. Rub this seasoning mix onto each pork chop, coating the sides for full coverage.

4. 4

   Air fry the pork chops for about 9-12 minutes, flipping them midway through the cooking time. Pork chops are done when the internal temperature measures 145F as measured with a digital thermometer. Tips - Do not try to guess the temperature! Undercooked pork is unsafe and overcooked pork is dry and awful; take the temperature with a thermometer. If you're cooking in batches, cook the second two chops as needed.

5. 5

   Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs and/or a pat of butter on top, and serve.
