Ingredients

  • 1-1¼ lb pork tenderloin trimmed
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the pork tenderloin from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Dry pork with a few paper towels. Transfer to a cutting board and trim any excess fat (there won’t be much) and remove the silverskin. 
  • To remove the silverskin: Use a paring knife or other sharp knife to slip under the silver skin and a paper towel to grab the end. Carefully run the knife just underneath the silverskin, holding the cut end with a paper towel.
  • Keep the the sharp edge of the knife angle slightly up at about a 45° angle.. You’ll end up with a strip of the membrane to discard.
  • Turn on the air fryer and set it to preheat with the air fryer function at a temperature of 375°F. Allow it to preheat for 5-7 minutes
  • While the air fryer pre-heats, make the seasoning rub. Combine the olive oil, dried rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Add salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Rub the seasoned olive oil mixture over the pork tenderloin.
  • Add the seasoned tenderloin to the air fryer basket. Depending on your model, you may need to place it at an angle.
  • Cook the meat of 10 minutes, then use tongs to turn the tenderloin over. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes. Use a digital meat thermometer to check for a temp of at least 140°F before removing from the fryer.

    Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing on an angle and serving. The internal temperature will be 145°F when it is fully cooked.
