Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork chops, boneless and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork Chop Bites: In a large bowl, combine the pork chop pieces with olive oil. Toss to coat the pork evenly and ensure every piece is covered.
  2. Season the Pork: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, thyme, and oregano. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the pork and toss thoroughly until all pieces are well coated with the spices.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for about 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the right temperature for cooking.
  4. Air Fry the Pork Chop Bites: Place the seasoned pork chop pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow even cooking. Cook for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to turn the pieces and promote even browning. The pork is done when it turns golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
  5. Serve: Remove the pork chop bites from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving. Enjoy them as a tasty appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Ensure the pork chops are cut into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to keep pieces in a single layer.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness for safety and best texture.
  • Feel free to customize seasoning with your favorite herbs or spices.
  • Letting the pork rest after cooking enhances flavor and juiciness.
