1 pound boneless thick-cut pork chops
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 1/2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
04 -
1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
05 -

→ Finishing
08 -
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
09 -
Chopped parsley, optional for garnish
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cut pork chops into bite-sized pieces. Toss evenly with olive oil, Montreal steak seasoning, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well coated.
02 -
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
03 -
Place pork pieces in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking halfway through, until internal temperature reaches at least 145°F.
04 -
Remove pork bites and immediately toss with melted salted butter to coat evenly.
05 -
Serve promptly with chopped parsley if desired.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Air frying cooks pork chops quickly while locking in juices for tender bites. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking.
02 -
Leftover pork bites keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 3 months. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
