Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- cooking string
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 6 center cut strips bacon
Equipment Needed
- Air Fryer
Instructions
- 1
Begin by seasoning the pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Arrange the bacon strips on a cutting board, ensuring they are approximately the same length as the tenderloin itself.
- 2
Take two strips of bacon and cut them in half (the thinner ends won't require a full strip). Position two halves side by side, followed by four whole strips, and then place the remaining two halves next to each other.
- 3
Gently position the pork tenderloin on top of the bacon. Carefully roll the tenderloin up in a jelly-roll fashion, starting from one of the longer edges. Secure the rolled roast with kitchen twine, tying at intervals of 2 inches using pieces of string that are about 12 inches long.
- 4
Slice the rolled tenderloin in half to ensure it fits comfortably inside the air fryer.
- 5
Place the tenderloin pieces into the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The pork is ready when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 145°F and 150°F. Allow the pork to rest for approximately 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into 12 even pieces.
