Air Fryer Juicy and Tender Tenderloin Roast

• 2 tenderloins
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup honey (omit if keto)
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha (or any hot sauce you like)
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for paleo)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

• Preheat the Air Fryer
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
• Season it
  • In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Pat the tenderloins dry with paper towels and rub the spice mix evenly over them.
• Sear it
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Sear the tenderloins for 3-5 minutes on each side until browned. This step helps lock in moisture.
• Prepare the Glaze
  • In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Sriracha, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Brush this glaze over the seared tenderloins, reserving some for serving.
• Cook in the Air Fryer
  • Place the glazed tenderloins in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (62°C).
• Rest it
  • Once done, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes under a piece of foil to keep it moist.
• Serve
  • Slice the tenderloin against the grain and serve with the reserved glaze and optional garnishes such as rosemary and orange slices.
