Prep Time20 minsCook Time1 hr 30 mins

2 Pork chops (preferably 1 1/2 inch thick)

2 tbsp Brown sugar

1 tbsp Paprika

1 ½ tsp Salt

1 ½ tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Ground mustard

½ tsp Onion powder

¼ tsp Garlic powder

2 tbsp Olive oil

(Optional) Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Rinse pork chops under running water. Pat with a paper towel to dry.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, ground mustard, onion, and garlic powder.

Lay the pork chops on a wide plate or a small baking sheet and coat them with olive oil.

Rub the brown sugar mixture into the meat and allow it to sit for a while.

Preheat your Air Fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes.

To avoid a sticky basket, place parchment paper liners like these on your basket or rack. This will prevent the sugar from sticking into your rack or basket, also saving you clean-up time.

Place the pork chops into the basket or rack, and cook at 400 °F for 12 minutes, flipping them after 6 minutes.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with rosemary sprig.
