Air fryer pork loin with apricot sauce. If you love the flavor of pork medallions and apricot sauce, you’ll love this easy air fryer recipe that yields a tender, juicy entree.
What are the benefits of air frying?
Air frying is a healthier alternative to deep-frying. It is a process of cooking food with hot air and no oil. The food is placed in a basket or on a rack and then surrounded by hot air.
Air frying reduces the amount of fat that can be absorbed by the food, which means it’s more healthy than deep frying. Air fryers are also easier to clean than deep fryers because there’s no oil residue leftover from cooking.
Why should I use an air fryer to cook the pork loin and not just a skillet on the stovetop at home?
Air fryers are a healthier alternative to frying food in oil. They use less oil and cook food faster, which means that they are more efficient. Air fryers also cook the food evenly and help it to brown and crisp up nicely.
How do I cook a pork loin in an air fryer?
Cooking a pork loin in an air fryer is not as complicated as it sounds. All you need is some basic ingredients and the right technique.
First, get your air fryer out and set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, slice up your pork loin into pieces that are about an inch thick. You want to make sure that they are all about the same size so that they cook evenly. Season the meat with salt and pepper, then place them in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes or until they reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit internally. Finally, remove them from the basket, let them rest for five minutes while you prepare a side dish such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, then enjoy!
