Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin
Description
Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin is prepared by coating a cleaned and patted-dry pork tenderloin with a marinade made of Dijon mustard, brown sugar, sea salt, and black pepper in a thick even layer. The air fryer is preheated to 350°F, and the basket is sprayed with oil to prevent sticking. The pork is placed in the basket and cooked for 22 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F to 150°F, ensuring it is safely cooked yet juicy.
After air frying, the tenderloin is removed and allowed to rest on a cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in moist slices when cut into rounds. The final dish offers flavorful pork with a balanced savory-sweet crust from the mustard and brown sugar.
Serve sliced pork tenderloin as a main protein alongside vegetables, grains, or salads. The air fryer method streamlines cooking, producing tender results without oven heat.
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin about one pound
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp sea salt coarse
- 1/2 tsp black pepper coarse ground
- ** I usually double this recipe because frequently pork tenderloin comes in a two pack
Instructions
- Mix dijon mustard, brown sugar, sea salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and brush the marinade over the top using a basting brush - you will want a thick even layer of the marinade
- Preheat your air fryer to 350F. Spray the air fryer basket with a spray oil and place the pork tenderloin in it. Cook the pork at 350F for 22-25 minutes. Check the internal temperture with an electronic thermometer and when it reaches 145F-150F the pork is done.
- Remove the pork from the air fryer and allow the pork to rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing into rounds.
