Air-Fryer Sliced Pork Loin: Quick, Easy, And Delicious

Cooking pork loin in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to get a tender, juicy piece of meat. The air fryer can cook fresh or frozen pork loin, and the process is the same for both. You can also reheat leftover pork loin in an air fryer.

How to season pork loin for the air fryer

To season pork loin for the air fryer, you should first pat the meat dry with a paper towel. Then, rub olive oil all over the pork loin until it is completely covered. Next, combine brown sugar, salt, garlic powder and black pepper in a small bowl and stir until mixed. Cover the pork loin with the spices. You can then place the pork loin in the air fryer basket and cook at 380°F/190°C for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the roast over and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C.

How long to cook pork loin in an air fryer

Cooking sliced pork loin in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to prepare a tender, juicy piece of meat. The cooking time will depend on the weight of the pork loin, the temperature of the air fryer, and whether the meat is fresh or frozen.

For a fresh pork loin, preheat your air fryer to 380°F/190°C. Place the pork loin in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the roast over and cook for a further 8-10 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C. This should take around 20 minutes in total.

If you are cooking a frozen pork loin, preheat your air fryer to 370°F and cook for about 60 minutes, or until the roast hits 145°F internally.

For a 2lb pork loin, cook for 24 to 36 minutes at 380°F/190°C. This works out as 12-14 minutes per pound of meat.

It is important to let the meat rest for at least 3-5 minutes before slicing to retain the juices.

How to get a juicy pork loin

Cooking juicy pork loin in an air fryer is easy and quick. First, pat the pork tenderloin dry with a paper towel. Then, rub olive oil all over the pork until it's completely covered. Next, cover the pork loin with spices. You can use a mixture of brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper, or you can use your own preferred spices.

After seasoning the pork, place it in the air fryer basket. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F/190°C and cook for 10 minutes. Then, flip the roast over and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C.

Once the pork has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This will help keep the juices in the meat. Check that the outside is golden brown and the inside is juicy with no pink.

If you're cooking a larger piece of pork, such as a 2lb pork loin, you may need to increase the cooking time to 24-36 minutes. You can also reheat leftover pork loin fillets in the air fryer at 370°F for about 3 minutes.

How to reheat pork loin in an air fryer

Reheating pork loin in an air fryer is simple and quick. First, preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place your leftover pork loin slices in the air fryer and cook them for about three minutes. This should ensure they are warmed through thoroughly.

If you are reheating a frozen pork loin, you will need to cook it for longer. Place the frozen pork loin in the air fryer and cook it for about 60 minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit. This should ensure the roast hits an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can check if your pork loin is cooked by using a meat thermometer. The centre of the roast should read at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You should also check that the outside is golden brown and the inside is juicy with no pink.

Once your pork loin has reached the correct temperature, remove it from the air fryer and place it on a cutting board or plate. Let it rest for at least three to five minutes before slicing and serving.
