Cooking a boneless pork shoulder in an air fryer, particularly with a Ninja Foodi, transforms this traditionally slow-cooked cut of meat into a succulent, flavour-packed dish in record time. Begin by seasoning the pork shoulder generously with a blend of your favourite herbs and spices—perhaps a combination of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a dash of salt and pepper for that perfect flavour.

Preheat your Ninja Foodi on the air fry setting, allowing it to reach the ideal temperature for crispy edges. Once ready, place the seasoned pork shoulder into the basket and cook for around 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness on all sides. The result is a beautifully browned exterior that gives way to tender, juicy meat—perfect for shredded pork sandwiches or served alongside roasted vegetables.

With the air fryer’s efficient cooking capabilities, you can enjoy a hearty meal without the long wait, making it a brilliant option for busy weeknights. Serve it up with some tangy barbecue sauce or a classic apple sauce for a delightful twist.
