- 400 gPork tenderloin
- 2 tbspOlive oil
- 1 tbspDijon mustard
- 1 tbspFresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbspFresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbspFresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cloveGarlic, minced
- 1 tspSmoked paprika
- 1 Prise(n)Salt(to taste)
- 1 Prise(n)Black pepper(to taste)
Instructions
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. This helps the crust adhere better and ensures a crispier exterior.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over all sides of the pork tenderloin, ensuring it's fully coated.
Carefully place the coated pork tenderloin into the air fryer basket. Make sure there's enough space around it for even cooking. You may need to cut larger tenderloins in half.
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer at the thickest part. Cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of your tenderloin and your air fryer model.
Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board, loosely tented with foil, for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
