A pulled pork sandwich from the air fryer is a delicious and relatively quick way to enjoy this classic comfort food. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

For the pulled pork:

500 grams (1.1 lbs) pork shoulder or pork butt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup barbecue sauce

For the sandwich:

4 burger buns
Coleslaw (optional)
Extra barbecue sauce
Pickles (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Pork:

Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil. Then, season it with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Air Fry the Pork:

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Place the seasoned pork in the air fryer basket and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F). Depending on the size of your pork piece and air fryer, you may need to adjust the time.

Shred the Pork:

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes.
Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

Mix with Barbecue Sauce:

In a large bowl, mix the shredded pork with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce until well-coated. If you prefer a saucier mixture, feel free to add more sauce.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

Toast the burger buns if desired.
Pile the pulled pork onto the bottom half of each bun.
Add extra barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles if you like.

Place the top bun on each sandwich and serve immediately.
