Tender pork chops with ranch seasoning and smoked paprika, cooked juicy and flavorful in the air fryer.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 1 pound bone-in pork chops

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

03 - 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix

04 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

05 - ½ teaspoon salt

06 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

01 - Place pork chops, olive oil, ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper into a large zip-top bag.

02 - Seal the bag and shake vigorously until all ingredients are evenly coated. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to marinate.

03 - Set air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

04 - Place marinated pork chops in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

05 - Verify pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). If needed, cook for additional minutes until temperature is reached.

06 - Remove pork chops from the air fryer and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes before serving.

01 - Marinating the pork chops is crucial for optimal flavor and tenderness. Avoid skipping this step.

02 - For best results, use center cut bone-in pork chops.

03 - If doubling the recipe, cook pork chops in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer.

04 - To prepare in the oven, bake at 450°F (232°C) for 14-16 minutes, ensuring pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

05 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
