Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
Description
The recipe begins by seasoning the pork tenderloin with kosher salt and black pepper. Bacon strips are carefully wrapped around the tenderloin and tied at intervals with kitchen string to hold the wrapping firmly during cooking. A rub mixture of smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and canola oil is pressed onto the surface for a balanced smoky and savory flavor.
Because pork tenderloins can be larger than the air fryer basket, the tenderloin is cut in half to fit for even cooking. Air frying at 400°F crisps the bacon while cooking the pork to an internal temperature between 145°F and 150°F, ensuring juiciness and safety. Resting for 5 minutes before slicing allows juices to redistribute, preserving tenderness.
This dish is served sliced alongside mashed potatoes and garnished with parsley, making it a satisfying main course with a combination of smoky, savory, and aromatic notes from the rub and bacon.
