Directions

  1. Mix half of the seasoning salt, thyme, curry powder, curry paste, onion powder, garlic powder, and olive oil in a bowl to form a marinade. Set aside a small portion of marinade for later. ​

  2. Coat both sides of pork chops in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.​

  3. Coat the base of air fryer with oil or cooking spray to avoid sticking and preheat to 370° degrees F. ​

  4. Transfer pork chops to air fryer, set timer to 10 minutes and begin cooking. ​

  5. Flip the pork chops every 5 minutes to help retain the juices and lightly brush surface with olive oil. Cook pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145–160 degrees F with a 3-minute rest.​

  6. In a heated pan, add olive oil, chopped onions and bell peppers, saute until soft for about 5 minutes. ​

  7. Add any remaining seasoning, curry marinade, and the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. ​

  8. Stir in curry paste, curry powder, and bay leaves, and cook until liquid is reduced and thickened, for about 7 minutes. ​

  9. Add air fryer pork chops to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes. Serve warm, with rice and steamed cabbage. ​
