Tender pork chop bites air fried to perfection with savory seasoning and a buttery finish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meat

01 - 1 pound boneless thick-cut pork chops

→ Oils and Fats

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted

→ Seasonings

04 - 1 ½ teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
05 - 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
08 - ½ teaspoon onion powder

→ Garnish

09 - Chopped parsley, optional

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Cut the boneless thick-cut pork chops into bite-sized pieces.
02 - Combine the pork pieces with olive oil, Montreal steak seasoning, light brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
04 - Arrange the pork bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
05 - Remove the cooked pork bites from the air fryer and toss immediately with melted salted butter.
06 - Serve the pork bites immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use olive oil spray in the air fryer to prevent sticky residue. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
02 - Ensure pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.
03 - Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months. Reheat gently in a sealed foil packet with water to retain moisture.
