Ninja Foodi Pork Tenderloin
Description
A juicy, tender pork tenderloin made quickly in the Ninja Foodi. A simple paprika-garlic rub and a foolproof 145°F finish give you perfectly cooked, flavorful pork in about 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Ninja Foodi to 400°F (Air Crisp/Air Fry) for 3–5 minutes.
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Rub all over with olive oil, then coat with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the tenderloin in the basket (cut in half if needed to fit). Air fry at 400°F for 14–16 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Check that the thickest part has reached an internal temperature of 145°F. Add a few minutes if needed.
- Let rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve.
Equipment
- Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Cook to 145°F, not just to the clock — thickness varies.
- Thaw frozen tenderloin before cooking for the best texture.
- Store leftovers refrigerated 3–4 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350–370°F for 3–5 minutes.
- No air fryer? Bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes, or until 145°F.
