Ingredients

4 pork chops, bone-in (½-¾-inch-thick)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoons Creole seasoning
2 teaspoons thyme, minced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
1-2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons parsley, for garnish
Roasted potatoes and asparagus

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375℉/190℃.
Thoroughly dry pork chops, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine Creole seasoning, thyme, garlic, Dijon mustard, sugar, and oil.
Season both sides of your pork chops with the marinade. Set aside.
Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may have to cook them in batches.
Cook, flipping halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork chop reaches 145℉/63℃, 7-9 minutes, depending on the pork chops' thickness.
Let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with roasted potatoes and asparagus and garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

Make sure you purchase good quality pork chops for the best results. They should be thick and pink when raw. If they are greyish looking, they are probably close to going bad, and too thin, they'll dry out and get tough in the air fryer.
You may have to cook your chops in batches because leaving space between each pork chop in the air fryer is essential. This allows proper air circulation, cooking your pork chops evenly. It will also help them have a slightly crisp outer layer that is delicious!
