Why Choose Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin?
Choosing to prepare your pork tenderloin in an air fryer not only speeds up the cooking process but also provides a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods. This method locks in flavors and ensures a juicy, succulent bite without the excess oil!
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
- 2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp of smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 brioche buns, split and toasted
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles
- Your favorite condiments
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork: Start by trimming the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin. Season generously with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook in Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned pork in the air fryer basket and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Halfway through, flip the pork to ensure even cooking.
- Rest and Slice: Let the pork rest for a few minutes after cooking, then slice thinly.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Layer your toasted brioche buns with slices of pork, add your chosen toppings, and drizzle with your favorite condiments.
