Total Time: 40 minutes
Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Pork Tenderloin:
   • Trim excess fat from the pork tenderloin.
   • In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
3. Season the Pork Tenderloin:
   • Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, making sure to coat all sides.
4. Prep the Air Fryer Basket:
   • Lightly coat the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
5. Air Fry the Pork Tenderloin:
   • Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the air fryer basket.
   • Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes, turning the tenderloin halfway through the cooking time.
6. Check for Doneness:
   • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for a safe and juicy result.
7. Rest and Slice:
   • Remove the pork tenderloin from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve:
   • Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices.
   • Serve it with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
