These crispy air fryer boneless pork chops are juicy and bursting with flavor, topped with a sweet and tangy honey apple cider glaze. Perfect for quick, cozy dinners with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • Olive oil spray
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ½ cup apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Pat the boneless pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray. Place pork chops in a single layer without overlapping. Spray tops with olive oil spray.
  5. Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying again with olive oil. Pork chops should be golden and crispy with an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. While chops cook, whisk together honey, apple cider, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. For thicker glaze, warm gently in a saucepan over low heat for 3-5 minutes.
  7. Brush the cooked pork chops generously with the honey apple cider glaze. Let glaze set for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat pork chops dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Flip chops halfway through cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for 145°F internal temperature. Apply glaze after cooking to avoid burning. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour. Leftovers can be reheated in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness.
