3. Cook the Pork Loin
Place the pork loin in the air fryer basket. If your air fryer is on the smaller side, you might need to cut the pork loin in half to fit.
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes. The cooking time can vary depending on the size of your pork loin and the type of air fryer you have. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork loin’s internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
4. Rest the Pork Loin
Once cooked, let the pork loin rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This rest period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it’s moist and flavorful when sliced.
5. Serve
Slice the pork loin into thick or thin slices, as preferred. Serve with your choice of sides. Fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon can add a nice touch of freshness.
Tips:
Air Fryer Size: If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to cook the pork loin in batches or adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Letting it Rest: Don’t skip the resting step; it’s crucial for a juicy roast.
Checking Temperature: Using a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure your pork loin is cooked perfectly. Insert it into the thickest part of the loin to check the temp.
Enjoy your deliciously juicy and flavorful air fryer pork loin roast, a simple yet impressive meal that’s perfect for any occasion!
