If you don’t like mushrooms, add other veggies of your liking. The flavors are fantastic and the texture is juicy and wonderful. We were inspired by our popular steak bites and mushrooms to cook with cut pork chops.

How to Cook Pork Bites in the Air Fryer
- Our favorite cuts of pork to use for this recipe is pork butt or pork shoulder. There’s enough marbling and fat to make these pork bites juicy.
- If you’re using loin chops, then they are much drier and not as juicy. If you eat these while still warm, the texture is still great. As the loin chop bites get cold, they will be more dry and hard.
- Step One: Cut pork chops into bite sized pieces but make sure they’re they’re all about the same size for even cooking. Add mushrooms or veggies like small cut potatoes, squash, broccoli, cauliflower.
- Step two : Add oil and seasonings and stir to coat everything together.
- Finally: Air fry and stir/toss about 3 times during cooking. Keep checking to make sure they cook to your preferred texture. Enjoy!

Notes
- Air fryer sizes and styles vary, which will change cooking times. Keep checking the pork bites to make sure they are cooked the way you like them.
- If cooking in multiple batches (if you have a small air fryer or are doubling the recipe), the first batch will take longer to cook if Air Fryer is not already pre-heated.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
