Keto Air Fryer Herbed Pork Chops

An air fryer is a fantastic way to make healthier versions of your favorite dishes. This is one of the best Keto air fryer recipes for a quick and easy lunch or dinner for the entire family, whether on Keto or not. Delicious pork chops are perfectly crispy on the outside and yet deliciously tender on the inside. They are coated with avocado oil, herbs, and spices for a delicious blend of flavors. You can adjust the amount of herbs according to taste or experiment with other herbs such as basil, marjoram, or oregano. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for a spicy twist. Enjoy!

Can I use a conventional oven for this recipe?

Yes, you can use a conventional oven if you don't have an air fryer with just a few minor adjustments. These Keto air fryer pork chops can be equally delicious when prepared in a conventional oven. You will have to arrange the chops over a baking sheet and adjust the cooking time until they are perfectly cooked and crispy.

How to replace avocado oil in this recipe?

Avocado oil is an excellent choice for the Keto diet. If you don’t have any avocado oil, you can simply replace it with the same amount of olive oil or butter (even a combination of butter and olive oil would work perfectly in this recipe).

Avocado oil

0.25 cup
Coarse Kosher Salt

2 tsp
Granulated Garlic

2 tsp
Onion powder

1 tsp
Rosemary, fresh

1 tsp
Thyme, fresh

1.25 tsp
Pork chops

2 lb

Step 1

Place the bone-in pork chops on a small sheet tray. Pat them dry with paper towels. Drizzle them with ¼ cup of avocado oil. Make sure the oil coats the pork chops on both sides as this helps to brown the meat and also helps the seasoning to adhere.
Step 2

Blend together the kosher salt, granulated garlic, onion powder, chopped fresh rosemary, and chopped fresh thyme.
Step 3

Sprinkle the herb mixture over the pork chops on both sides. Rub the mixture into the meat to evenly coat it. Set it aside.
Step 4

Place the pork chops in a single layer into the air fryer. If your air fryer has only one rack, you may need to cook these in batches. Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 11-12 minutes.
Step 5

Check to ensure the pork chops' internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part. The pork chops should be browned all over as well. Serve immediately with your favorite Keto side dish.
Step 6

Leftover pork chops can be reheated in the microwave. They can also be reheated in the air fryer for about 5-6 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until hot and crispy on the edges. Enjoy!
