280 kcal · 30 min · 2 servings

Ingredients

• 200g Pork Tenderloin
• 1 EL Olive Oil
• 2 Zehen Garlic
• 1 TL Thyme
• 1 TL Rosemary
• 1 TL Paprika
• 1 TL Salt
• 1 TL Pepper
• 2 EL Bread Crumbs

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This takes about 3 minutes.
2. 2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Never wash it, or it will lose juice.
3. 3. Cut the tenderloin into two equal pieces. Aim for about 100 grams per piece.
4. 4. Finely chop the 2 cloves of garlic. Don't chop it too small, or it will burn.
5. 5. Mix the garlic with 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
6. 6. Add 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of paprika to the oil mixture. Stir well.
7. 7. Season the herb-oil mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Taste it briefly.
8. 8. Coat the meat pieces generously all over with the herb-oil mixture. Cover every fiber.
9. 9. Press 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs firmly onto the meat pieces. Make sure they stick.
10. 10. Place the meat pieces in the basket of the air fryer. Ensure they don't touch.
11. 11. Cook the meat at 180 °C for 10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
12. 12. Carefully flip the meat pieces with tongs. The other side is now facing up.
13. 13. Cook the meat for another 5 minutes at 180 °C. The crust will become crispy and dark brown.
14. 14. Remove the meat and let it rest on a plate for 5 minutes. This keeps it juicy.
15. 15. Cut the tenderloin into thick slices. The center should be pink, and the crust should crack when you cut it.
