Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF. Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Make the dry rub. Add the brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, thyme, mustard, and pepper into a bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Pat the pork tenderloin with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and then season the pork with the dry rub. 
    An air-fried pork tenderloin served on a white plate.
  • Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil onto the air fryer basket.
  • Place the pork tenderloin in the air fryer basket. Drizzle the pork with the remaining olive oil. 
    A piece of salmon cooked in an air fryer, served on a black tray.
  • Cook the pork for 10 minutes at 400ºF, flip the pork, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes. 
  • Check the internal temperature of the pork and when it reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF remove it from the air fryer. Cook the pork tenderloin longer if a more well done pork tenderloin is desired. 
  • Remove the pork from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips & Notes

  • Many pork tenderloins come in 2 packs (two, 1.5-lb. tenderloins). If that is the case, you can use one tenderloin for this recipe and freeze the another tenderloin. Or? You can double this recipe and end up with 2 pork tenderloins.
  • If you prefer a more rare tenderloin, take the pork tenderloin out of the air fryer when it reaches 138-140ºF and it will continue to cook while resting and produce a slightly pink, juicy center.
  • Feel free to use 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite dry rub or of our pork dry rub for a bit of a different flavor.
