Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Pork Tenderloin
Air fryer pork tenderloin comes out juicy and tender with a savory herb crust — here it's scored and stuffed with tomato and goat cheese for a dinner that looks far fancier than the effort it takes. Potatoes roast right alongside for a complete meal in one basket.
Lean pork tenderloin cooks fast, so the air fryer is ideal: it browns the outside while keeping the center moist. Just don't overcook it.
Ingredients
Instructions
Start the potatoes
Halve the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, spray with oil and air fry at 375°F while you prep the pork.
Prep the pork
Trim the tenderloins of fat and pat dry. Make several cuts across the top (not all the way through), like a hasselback, and season all over.
Stuff
Brush each cut with garlic-parsley paste and tuck a slice of tomato and goat cheese into each.
Air fry
Place the pork over the potatoes and air fry at 375°F for about 15 minutes, then add 5 more minutes until the pork reaches 145°F. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Pull the pork at 145°F and rest — it stays pink and juicy, which is safe and recommended.
- A meat thermometer is the difference between juicy and dry tenderloin.
- Don't confuse tenderloin with the larger pork loin — the loin needs longer.
