This was an experiment that had a very happy ending. The dry rub on the tenderloin created a nice crispy crust while the inside stayed moist and juicy.

Ingredients

Pork:

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed

Broccoli:

  • 4 cups chopped broccoli florets

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Stir brown sugar, paprika, ground mustard, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl until evenly combined.

  2. Brush olive oil on pork tenderloin until coated. Rub spice mixture on all sides of tenderloin and let sit for 5 minutes.

  3. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  4. Carefully place tenderloin in the air fryer basket and cook, undisturbed, in the preheated air fryer for 20 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, place broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  6. Transfer tenderloin to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  7. While tenderloin is resting, place broccoli in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
