Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless pork chops, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Marinate the Pork

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the pork chop cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for 15-20 minutes for maximum flavor.

2. Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for 3 minutes.

3. Cook the Pork Chop Bites

  1. Arrange the marinated pork cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
  2. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.

4. Rest and Serve

  1. Once cooked, remove the pork chop bites from the air fryer and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, barbecue, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.

Tips for Success

  • Cut Uniformly: Ensure the pork chop cubes are the same size for even cooking.
  • Shake the Basket: Shaking halfway ensures crispy edges on all sides.
  • Adjust Time: Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model; check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for perfect doneness.
