How to Make Air Fryer Pork Chops in the Ninja Foodi
Cris here.
Recently one of our Crock Partner Patreon Patrons (Hi James!) asked us to share a low carb friendly air fryer pork chop recipe. We have been testing all kinds of things and ultimately settled on something VERY simple, but VERY good! After trying a LOT of things that just were not quite up to my standards, I thought back to this oven recipe I did AGES ago and how I got tons of emails from readers telling me they FINALLY were able to make the perfect pork chop. So, I decided to use that idea in my air fryer and it consistently produced perfectly tender and flavorful chops EVERY TIME. I simply love it!
Air Fryer Pork Chops Recipe Notes
- We used regular thickness (not labeled thick or thin) bone-in chops for this recipe. If your chops are really thick or really thin, cooking time will be affected. Thicker chops will take longer. Thinner chops will take less time.
- We have used our Ninja Foodi (air crisp feature) and traditional air fryers to make this recipe. Both will work. Just make sure you cook in batches if you are wanting to cook more than two chops.
- Air fryers may cook differently. Always first test in your unit attended. Times may vary.

I had one pork chop that was thicker than the other pork chop. I still used your recipeโs recommended temperature and time for the Ninja Foodi, and also added one reviewerโs suggestion to broil them on each side to add that brown crust affect to the chops. They were perfect in every way! My husband loves the look and taste of these; their almost like theyโve been grilled on an outdoor gas grill!
We’re so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for letting us know, it really makes our day!
Simple
Quick and easy and delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe Pamela!
So easy and tasty! I always dry out my chops but not following this recipe
That’s awesome Ivon! I’m so glad to hear it!!!
Recipe was great for the med. cut pork chops. However My chops were 1″ thick bone in. So this is what I did.
1. Used the air fry basket with rack.
2. Increased air fry cook time to 9 min. Air fry temp. remained the same at 360ยฐ.
3. After air fring 9 min. per side switched to Broil Mode for 2 min. per side. To brown perfectly.
I just did mine for the 9 min. as you described, due to their thickness, and they turned out perfect!!!
Hi Chris and Mikey!
I was wondering, could you add veggies and cook them with this? I was thinking maybe pressure cooking cut up potatoes and frozen green beans for about 6-7 minutes, then add the cooking rack over them and air crisping all the ingredients together for the cooking time of the pork chops. Does that sound like it would be good timing to you or would you alter it another way?
I have tried so many of your recipes over the years, and I love them. I especially love it when you show us a full all-in-one meal. Thanks for all you do!
PS. I am a fellow Hoosier as well. ๐
Hello fellow Hoosier!
I can’t really say without testing first. If you give it a try, definitely let me know. We will try to do some all in one recipes soon.
These were soooo delicious. Cooking instructions worked perfectly. I didn’t have Lawry’s so used Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute. I also brined 4 hours first (with 1 cup of hot water with 3T kosher salt, 1tsp minced garlic, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a bay leaf, mixed with 2 cups of cold water after salt dissolved)
So glad you enjoyed it as much as we do!
so how would i make both of these items in the air fryer without either dish getting cold?
Hi Patrick-
I am not sure which other dish you are referring to…
Hey could you use boneless pork chops
Hi Kayla-
So sorry I missed your comment. You can use boneless chops, however, cooking times may vary depending on thickness of the chop. Enjoy!
Very good thank you
So glad you enjoyed it Jessie!
