Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork butt or shoulder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided into 1 and 1/2 teaspoons)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon pepper (divided into 1 and 1/2 teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • oil spray

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the pork into 2-inch long pieces that are approximately half an inch thick. It doesn’t have to be perfect but try to have them as close to size as possible.

  2. 2

    Generously season with salt and pepper (1 teaspoon salt and pepper). Add the cornstarch and toss until coated.

  3. 3

    Add the pork into the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray with oil. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you’ll have to do this in two batches.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes. Give the basket a shake, spray a little more oil, and air fry for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the pork is crispy.

  5. 5

    While still hot, season with additional salt and pepper (the leftover ½ teaspoon salt and pepper). Repeat until you’ve air fried all the pork.
