Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, and chili powder. Mix well to create the dry rub.
  3. Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated. Sprinkle the dry rub over the pork, pressing it into the meat to adhere.
  4. Place the pork tenderloin in the preheated air fryer and cook for 20-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Flip the tenderloin halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  5. While the pork is cooking, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them in a separate air fryer basket.
  6. When the pork is done, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  7. Cook the broccoli in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until tender-crisp and lightly browned.
  8. Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the roasted broccoli. Enjoy!
