Indulge in smoky bacon-wrapped pork bites with a maple sriracha glaze. Air-fried to perfection, these bites are crave-worthy comfort food!
Ingredients
- • Pork tenderloin: 1 lb, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • Smoked bacon: 12 slices, halved
- • Maple syrup: 1/2 cup
- • Sriracha sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Fresh cilantro: 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 Wrap each pork cube with a half slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Ensure the bacon covers the pork completely for maximum flavor.
- 3 In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. This will be your glaze.
- 4 Arrange the bacon-wrapped pork bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the pork is cooked through.
- 5 In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the pork bites generously with the maple sriracha glaze and return them to the air fryer to allow the glaze to caramelize.
- 6 Once done, remove the toothpicks, arrange the pork bites on a serving platter, and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
Serving Suggestions
- • These bacon-wrapped pork bites are perfect for any occasion, whether served as an appetizer or the star of your meal. Pair them with a fresh, crisp coleslaw to balance the richness, or serve alongside a hearty potato salad for a more substantial meal. For drinks, consider a chilled craft beer or a sparkling cider, which will complement the smoky and sweet flavors. If you're feeling adventurous, serve these bites with a side of pickled vegetables or a tangy dipping sauce to cut through the richness. The possibilities are endless, and each option promises to enhance the indulgent experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pork bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the bacon soggy.
