Boneless pork chops get slathered in a sharp Dijon mustard coating, then dusted with a garlicky herb blend before air frying to a golden, crisp exterior. The mustard locks in moisture while the hot circulating air delivers a browned crust without deep frying. Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 3/4 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, and minced garlic.

  3. In a separate small bowl, combine the dried thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

  4. Brush both sides of each pork chop generously with the Dijon mixture, then sprinkle evenly with the herb blend, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes.

  6. Arrange the pork chops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overlapping, and cook for 6 minutes.

  7. Flip the pork chops and cook until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F, about 6 more minutes.

  8. Transfer the chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
