Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

• 2 lb (1kg) pork tenderloin (trimmed of any excess fat and silverskin)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Trim the pork of any excess fat/silver skin if your butcher hasn't done it for you.

2. 2

   Slice each tenderloin into two even pieces with a sharp knife - this reduces the cooking time significantly.

3. 3

   You could also air fry a whole pork tenderloin but the cooking time will need to be slightly adjusted.

4. 4

   Mix together all the spices in a small bowl.

5. 5

   Rub the pork with the olive oil and lemon juice then sprinkle over the spice mixture.

6. 6

   Place the pork tenderloin in the air fryer basket then air fry at 400°F/205°C for 15-18 minutes until the pork is cooked through.

7. 7

   For well-done pork, cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F/62°C on a meat thermometer/instant-read thermometer. We prefer serving prime pork while it's still slightly pink in the center so I remove the pork from the air fryer when it reaches 137°F/59°C as it will continue cooking as it rests.

8. 8

   Allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes then slice and serve with your favorite side dishes.
