What’s in Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin?

• pork loin: Pork tenderloin comes in a 1 or 2 pack. So feel free to cook both if it comes in a 2 pack.
• brown sugar: Adds a hint of sweetness and helps create a caramelized crust on the pork.
• Garlic powder and onion powder: These provide a tasty depth of flavor.
• Smoked paprika: Gives a smoky flavor and a beautiful color to the pork.
• Kosher Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning and highlighting the flavors of the other ingredients.
• Dried thyme powder and mustard: These add a subtle earthy and sour flavor, respectively.
• Olive oil: Helps dry marinade stick to pork and promotes a crispy exterior when air-fried.

variations

Feel free to experiment with other spices like cumin, chili powder, or our homemade pork rub for a different flavor profile. You can replace the brown sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different kind of sweetness. Finally, if you prefer, you can use other oils like avocado oil or canola oil instead of olive oil.

Pork Tenderloin Internal Temperature

Check the internal temperature of the pork and when it reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF, remove it from the fryer.

For a rarer tenderloin: Take the pork loin out of the fryer when it reaches 138-140ºF and it will continue to cook while resting and produce a juicy, slightly pink center.

For a more well-done sirloin: remove the pork loin from the fryer when it reaches 148-150ºF and will continue to cook as it sits.
