/

This quick and simple Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin cooked in the air fryer is perfect for weeknight dinners and packed with so much flavor!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 pork tenderloin, about 1 1/2 lbs

  • 6 center cut strips bacon

  • cooking string

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Season pork with salt and pepper. Lay the bacon on a cutting board to be roughly the same size as the tenderloin.

  • Cut two bacon strips in half (since the ends are thinner, they don’t need a whole strip). Lay two halves next to each other, then four full strips, then the other two halves next to each other.

  • Carefully lay the tenderloin over the bacon. Tightly roll up the pork jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie the roast at 2- inch intervals with kitchen string each about 12-inches long.

  • Carefully cut the tenderloin in half to fit in the air fryer.

  • Put the tenderloin inside and fry at 400 F for 20 minutes turning halfway, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145-150 F. Let the pork rest about 5 minutes before slicing. Slice into 12 slices.

  • Optional: Serve with grain mustard, fig jam, sweet chile sauce, etc.
