Equipment
Ingredients
- 1¼-1½ pound pork tenderloin
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons pork seasoning * or to taste, as below or your favorite pork seasoning or rub
Pork Seasoning*:
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika if using, to create the pork seasoning.
- Check if tenderloin will fit in the air fryer (maybe diagonally), then preheat air fryer to 400F.
- Remove the silverskin from the pork by sticking the tip of a sharp knife under it, and gently pulling the silverskin while cutting against it to remove it from the meat.
- If the whole tenderloin will not fit in the air fryer, cut it in half.
- Coat the tenderloin in oil. Sprinkle with seasoning.
- Cook for 17-20 minutes, or until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 143˚F on an instant read thermometer, checking after 15 minutes.
- Remove from air fryer and rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes (the internal temperature will have reached 145˚F). Slice and serve, drizzling with juices from the cutting board if desired.
Notes
- A smaller tenderloin may use less seasoning and you may have a little leftover.
- Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
