Indulge in our Air Fryer BBQ Pulled Pork & Cheddar Wafflewich for a flavor explosion of crispy, cheesy, and meaty goodness. Perfect for your comfort food cravings!
Ingredients
- • Boneless pork shoulder: 1 lb
- • BBQ sauce: 1 cup
- • Cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Frozen waffles: 8 pieces (or homemade, if preferred)
- • Butter: 4 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 Season the pork shoulder with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the olive oil all over the pork to help the spices adhere.
- 3 Place the pork in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
- 4 Remove the pork from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. Using two forks, shred the pork into pieces and mix it with the BBQ sauce.
- 5 Toast the waffles in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Spread butter on one side of each waffle.
- 6 Assemble the wafflewiches by placing a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on the buttered side of four waffles. Top with BBQ pulled pork and another layer of cheddar cheese. Cover with the remaining waffles, buttered side facing out.
- 7 Return the assembled wafflewiches to the air fryer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the waffles are crispy. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these wafflewiches with a side of crispy sweet potato fries for an added touch of sweetness that complements the smoky BBQ. A tangy coleslaw would add a refreshing crunch and balance the richness of the sandwich. For drinks, a cold craft beer or a refreshing iced tea would pair perfectly, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, wrap each wafflewich tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and reheat the wafflewiches for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
