What air fryer was used?
This recipe was tested with the Power AirFryer Oven. However, any air fryer (oven or basket) may be used to cook pork tenderloin. Keep in mind that all air fryers vary, so your cooking time with vary as well. The best way to know when your tenderloin is done is by using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be 145°F.
What is garlic herb seasoning?
Garlic herb seasoning is a great-tasting seasoning you can find in the seasoning section of your local grocery store. It is often salt-free. We like McCormick brand of seasonings. If you are cooking the pork tenderloin with unsalted butter, then you may want to add a bit of salt to the pork tenderloin when seasoning with the garlic and herb seasoning.

Yes. It’s best to let pork rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute and helps prevent it from drying out.

Don’t take your pork tenderloin directly from the refrigerator and cook it. We recommend letting it come to room temperature prior to cooking. Depending on the temperature of your cooking, this takes about 30 minutes.
