Scale

- Wash the pork chops with cool water and dry them thoroughly using a paper towel.
- Combine all the dry spices in a small bowl.
- Brush the pork chops with olive oil then generously coat them with the spice mixture on both sides.
- Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 12 to 14 minutes, turning them over halfway through cooking after 6 minutes.
