Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures the pork chops start cooking immediately and helps build that nice crust.

In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub each pork chop with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides, pressing gently so it sticks.

Place the pork chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them—if necessary, cook in batches so the hot air can circulate properly around each chop.

Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when done. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in all the juices.
