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 very, so your cook time with very 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. 

How to make pork tenderloin in an air fryer?

1. Start with a tenderloin that has come to room temperature.
2. Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF. 
3. Brush the pork all over with melted butter. You want it heavily coated!
4. Air fry the pork for 25 minutes.

6. Air fry the pork for an additional 5 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF.
7. Let rest for 5-10 minutes, serve, and enjoy!
8. Refrigerate any leftovers and eat within 2 days.

Do you need to let pork rest?

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.

Should Pork Tenderloin be at room temperature before cooking?

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.
