Servings: 2 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ½ tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ tablespoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large bone-in, thick-cut pork chops
Instructions
- Add the chili powder, brown sugar, dried oregano, paprika, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, and salt to a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes, and while the air fryer is preheating, coat each pork chop in olive oil and then season liberally with the dry rub.
- Place the pork chops in the air fryer, and insert an in-oven thermometer into the thickest pork chop.
- Cook the pork chops in the air fryer at 375°F for 8 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Notes
- Use a different cut of pork - while we really love a good, thick pork chop, if the dry rub is calling your name but you'd rather use a different cut of pork, this oven roasted pork tenderloin recipe uses the same rub!
- Make it refined-sugar free - if you want to keep this recipe refined-sugar free, simply swap the brown sugar for coconut sugar.
- Make it dairy-free - this recipe is dairy-free all on its own, so no modifications needed.
- Make it grain-free - again, this is a grain-free recipe as-is.
- Make it gluten-free - no need for modifications to make this recipe gluten-free, it's gluten-free all on its own.
