Instructions

  • Prepare the marinade by whisking together all the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl. Wash and peel the carrots.
    ½ cup Orange juice, 1 tablespoon Orange zest, 3 tablespoon Olive oil, 3 tablespoon Honey, 3 tablespoon Soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon Garlic powder, 1 tablespoon Chili sauce
  • Unwrap the pork tenderloin and place it in a gallon size zipper storage bag, with half of the marinade. Seal the bag an let marinate for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade and add to the air fryer. Place carrots on either side of the pork tenderloin.

  • Brush the carrots and pork tenderloin with the marinade you set aside. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  • Turn the air fryer on to 400 degrees F and set the timer for 20 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, open the air fryer and turn the pork tenderloin and the carrots so that they crisp evenly. Baste again with the marinade.
  • Adjust cooking time after checking internal temperature. The safe internal temperature for pork tenderloin is 145 degrees F. Remove when the instant read thermometer is just above 140 degree F. The temperature will continue to rise while the pork is resting.
  • Check the temperature again at 15 minutes with a thermometer. When the temperature reaches 140 degrees F, remove from air fryer.
  • Transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board and allow to rest for juices to redistribute. After 10 minutes, slice, platter, and serve with the carrots, garnished with fresh thyme sprigs.

Notes

  • Air fry pork tenderloin at 400 F and use a meat thermometer to ensure that the tenderloin is cooked to 140 F.
  • If you are using a larger pork tenderloin, you may need to increase the cooking time.
  • To prevent the pork tenderloin from drying out, make sure to not overcook it. An internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal, but remove from the air fryer at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, as it will continue to cook while resting.
  • Let the tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and juicy tenderloin.
