Pork Tenderloin in Air Fryer
My easy recipe for pork tenderloin in the air fryer will without a doubt be the hero of your next weeknight dinner! At my house, Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin is on our regular dinner rotation. It’s always a hit between both kids and adults at the table, and it’s so easy to make.
I like to think of pork tenderloin as the filet mignon of pork! It’s a very lean cut of pork, and comes out tender and juicy every time. Not having to fire up the oven or grill is amazing! Pork tenderloin cooks so fast in the air fryer that dinner is ready in under 30 minutes.
The best part of this recipe is how it begins to crisp up perfectly in the air fryer; the sugar in the seasoning blend begins to caramelize to create an explosion of flavor!
I love how easy this recipe is to prepare and how juicy it turned out. Thank you for the awesome recipe.
