Easy Pork Tenderloin Bites Recipe
These quick and juicy pork tenderloin bites are the easiest way to enjoy Southern BBQ flavor on a busy weeknight.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin cut into 1 to 1.5 inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon BBQ rub seasoning
- ¼ cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- In a medium bowl, add the pork to a bowl and toss with olive oil and bbq seasoning until well coated.
- Place the seasoned pork bites in a single layer in the air fryer tray.
- Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are browned and the pork reaches 145°F internally.
- Brush the bites with BBQ sauce and cook 1 to 2 minutes more to set the bbq sauce.
- Rest for 2 minutes and serve warm.
Notes
- Trim any silver skin for the best texture.
- These make great meal prep proteins for rice bowls, salads, potatoes, or simple veggie sides.
- For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 4 minutes so the pork stays tender and doesn’t dry out.
