Air Fryer Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin is a straightforward recipe, but the slow-roasted flavor you get by cooking it in the air fryer is AMAZING!
Today, I marinated my pork tenderloin in a simple marinade and left it there for a few hours before air frying it.
The meat was tender and juicy, And without any oil, it’s a healthy dinner to serve you and your family, and truthfully it’s a great beginner recipe for anyone new to air frying.

Start by making the sauce, mix all ingredients into a large mixing bowl, and mix well.
Add your pork tenderloin, cover, and marinate for at least an hour or the best flavor overnight.
Preheat your air fryer by setting it for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. (air fryer setting)

The internal temperature of a pork tenderloin should be 145 degrees F.
HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR PORK TENDERLOIN IS PERFECTLY COOKED
If you ever heard me recommend a meat thermometer, you know I am a HUGE fan of ensuring your meat is perfectly done.
So, grab your meat thermometer, and check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin, which should be 145 degrees F.
Depending on your air fryer, cooking up your pork tenderloin perfectly will take between 15 to 20 minutes.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PORK TENDERLOIN AND PORK LOIN?
Pork tenderloin and pork loin are about the same. They both are the other white meats. But there is a bit of a difference.
Pork tenderloin is also known as a pork fillet, and it’s a long thin piece of meat—the meat of the pork tenderloin is taken from the rear of the pork.
A pork loin, also known as a pork loin joint, is taken from the larger pork section and is still very lean meat.
WHAT COLOR IS PORK TENDERLOIN?
The internal temperature needs to reach 145 degrees F, but it will still be a bit pink in the center of the pork tenderloin.
If you want it more well done, you can continue to cook your tenderloin to your preference.
