How should I serve this air fry pork tenderloin?
Amy and I couldn’t stop eating the juicy sliced pork directly off of the cutting board. That said, there are actually many ways to enjoy this pork.
You could serve it with some creamy mashed potatoes and crispy Brussesls sprouts.
The pork would also be amazing on a sandwich with homemade creamy honey mustard sauce or on a fall harvest salad. Any way you enjoy it, I recommend making a double batch so that you have some for leftovers.
How do you make Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin?
Step 1: Brush marinade over pork tenderloin
To begin, mix dijon mustard, brown sugar, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Then, 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
Step 2: Air fry pork tenderloin
Then, preheat your air fryer to 350F. Spray the air fryer basket with a spray oil and place the pork tenderloin in it.
Next, cook the pork at 350F for 22-25 minutes. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer and when it reaches 145F-150F the pork is done.
Step 3: Rest, slice and serve pork
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.
Storage and Reheating
Store this air fryer pork tenderloin in the fridge for up to 4 days. I prefer to enjoy the leftovers cold, but you can reheat on the stovetop or in the air fryer.
