Instructions

Step 1: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup marinade, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 4 pork chops and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup diced pineapple, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Set aside.
Step 3: Place the marinated pork chops in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pork is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized. Brush the pineapple glaze over the chops during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
