Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the chops with the olive oil mixture.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the pork chops in the air fryer basket, ensuring they're not overcrowded. If necessary, cook them in batches.
Air fry the pork chops for 10 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking.
Check the internal temperature of the chops using a meat thermometer. The temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption. If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Once done, remove the pork chops from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve your crispy and juicy pork chops with your favorite sides and enjoy!
