Air Fryer Pork Shashlik

No barbecue? No problem! Delicious barbecue is guaranteed! For city dwellers, an air fryer is a real salvation when there is no time to get out into nature. Shish kebab in an air fryer is significantly different from that baked in the oven, and for the better. Perhaps the only thing it lacks is the smell of smoke.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pork shish kebab in an air fryer? To prepare this dish, any boneless pork suitable for baking or frying is suitable. Wash the meat under running water and cut into portions. The pieces for shashlik in an air fryer should be slightly smaller than for shish kebab on the grill, so that it has time to get ready.

Step 2

Step 2
Transfer the pork to a bowl. Peel the onions and cut into rings. I can’t imagine barbecue without onions in the marinade. But of course, if you donʼt like it, then just donʼt add it!

Step 3

Step 3
Add your favorite spices and seasonings suitable for barbecue, except salt! Itʼs at the very end, before the roast. I use suneli hops, bay leaves and ready-made kebab seasoning. Be careful with ready-made seasonings: they often contain salt and there is a high risk of subsequently over-salting the dish.

Step 4

Step 4
Mix the meat and spices, as if lightly kneading the pieces of pork with your hands. This is best done with disposable gloves.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour sparkling mineral water over the kebab so that all the pieces are submerged in the water.

Step 6

Step 6
Place a small flat plate directly on the meat and place a heavy pressure on top. In this form, the kebab should stand in the refrigerator for at least two hours. In general, the longer it is marinated, the tastier it will be. I usually marinate the meat in the morning, and by evening it is ready to fry.

Step 7

Step 7
Salt the kebab and place the meat on the special metal skewers included with your air fryer. Place them on a medium rack greased with sunflower oil. Onions can also be used if you like them. Fry the kebab at a temperature of 205 degrees on medium air for 20 minutes. In 10 minutes. Use tongs to turn the kebab over. I have never used wooden skewers for an air fryer. But, if you soak them in water (so as not to burn), you can try it.
