Pork loin is one of those delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a ton of different ways. And one of the easiest methods for cooking pork loin is in an air fryer. Tender and juicy roast that is packed with flavor, what could be better?
Apart from the speed and convenience of cooking in the air fryer, the meat is cooked evenly with a beautiful golden crust in a fraction of the time it would take to cook in a conventional oven.

Cooking tips
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C) before cooking the pork loin. This helps to ensure that the pork loin cooks evenly and becomes crispy on the outside.
- Rub the pork loin with a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before putting it in the air fryer.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the pork loin to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to make sure it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
