Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Air Fryer to 400˚F.
  • Remove pork tenderloin from the fridge about 15 minutes before you are ready to cook it.
  • Pat dry the pork tenderloin with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the mustard mixture all over the tenderloin.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the tenderloin in the basket. If needed to fit, bend it or cut the tenderloin in half. Grease the top of the tenderloin with cooking spray.
  • Cook for 10 minutes; flip, lightly grease with cooking spray, and continue to cook for 10 to 14 more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork registers at 145˚F. See my Notes below.
  • Transfer cooked tenderloin to a cutting board and let stand for about 5 to 8 minutes before cutting.
  • Cut and serve.

Notes

  • A meat thermometer is the only, and best way to make sure your meat is done properly.
  • The thickness of the pork will determine the time it takes to cook. For even cooking, I also suggest to remove the tenderloin from the fridge about 15 to 20 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want to cook two tenderloins tied together, as I did here, make sure that they are small - no more than 1 pound each - and tie them together at 3-inch intervals with kitchen twine. Keep in mind that it might take longer to cook them through, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • If you are looking for a bit more browning on top, you can place the cooked pork tenderloin under the broiler for about 2 minutes, or until browned.
