Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. pork tenderloin see notes
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pre heat the air fryer.
- Remove the pork from the package. Most pre package tenderloins will come in 2 sliced pieces. For this recipe I am using pre sliced, 1 lbs. each tenderloins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour tapioca flour and breadcrumbs on separate plates.
- Roll the tenderloins into the tapioca flour to cover all sides well. Transfer to the breadcrumbs and roll to cover well.
- Place the tenderloins in the basket of your air fryer and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit with a meat thermometer. Remove, slice and serve.
Notes
- Most pre-packaged pork tenderloins will come pre cut into 1 lb. filets. If yours is not cut, you will want to cut so you have 2, 1 lb. filets or ask your butcher to do so.
- You can use cornstarch or all-purpose flour in place of tapioca flour.
- Nutritional information is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
