💟Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Pork tenderloin is less expensive than other different cuts of pork and is an easy way to save money on your food budget. I buy a 4 pack of meat at Costco and then divide it up into 2 meals but, if you are cooking for 2 (or 1) that 4 pack can easily be 4 dinners.
- I like to use the no fuss recipe in this blog post for one dinner and then the simple recipe for Pineapple Pork Loin available in my Freezer Meal Planner, for the other meal keeping it in the freezer for busy days or any day I don't feel like cooking.
- While this air fryer pork tenderloin recipe is perfect for dinner, any leftovers can easily be used for a pork sandwich. Add a little bit of homemade pineapple bbq sauce and a side of slaw and you've got yourself another meal.
🍲What to Serve with this Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin Roast
My favorite side dish is homemade mashed potatoes but this meal is also delicious with this refreshing Creamy Cucumber Salad.
A delicious compliment to the flavor of pork is that of sweet potatoes and Mom's Sweet Potato Casserole would be a great fit especially for a family dinner or this Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potato recipe.

No Shaking & No Preheating, Precise Temperature Control and Even Cooking Results
This particular recipe was made with a Cosori 6.8 qt air fryer. If you're using a different brand of air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time and/or temperature accordingly as not all air fryers cook the same.
I also recommend using a meat thermometer that can stay in place throughout the cooking process. The MeatStick is my choice. I can monitor the temperature of the meat on my smartphone and I get an alert when it's time to remove whatever I'm cooking from the heat source.
💭Top tip
