Tangy & Sweet Air Fryer Pork Chops

These Air Fryer Pork Chops are tender on the inside, slightly caramelized on the outside, and full of sweet and tangy flavor. Perfect for a quick dinner that feels like comfort food!

🧂 Ingredients

4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt & black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2️⃣ In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3️⃣ Coat the pork chops with the marinade — let them sit for 10–15 minutes if you have time.
4️⃣ Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should be 145°F / 63°C).
5️⃣ Brush with extra glaze from the bowl after cooking for a glossy finish.

🍽️ Serving Ideas

Serve with roasted potatoes, coleslaw, or steamed veggies for a balanced meal.
A side of mashed sweet potatoes or rice also pairs beautifully!

❤️ Pro Tip

For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops for up to 2 hours in the fridge.
Brush with honey in the last minute of cooking for a sweet, sticky finish!
