For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked salt to the dry rub. Ensure your pork tenderloin is trimmed of any excess silver skin for optimal tenderness. Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spice. Resting the pork is crucial for a juicy result; don't skip this step! For even cooking, don't overcrowd the air fryer basket with broccoli; cook in batches if necessary.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined. (2 minutes)
02
StepBrush the pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring it's evenly coated. Then, generously rub the spice mixture all over the tenderloin. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors. (7 minutes)
03
StepPreheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. (5 minutes)
04
StepCarefully place the seasoned tenderloin in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20 minutes, allowing the dry rub to create a delicious crust. (20 minutes)
05
StepWhile the pork is cooking, prepare the broccoli. Place the chopped broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for approximately 3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. (3 minutes)
06
StepToss the microwaved broccoli with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
07
StepOnce the pork tenderloin is cooked, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful cut. (10 minutes)
08
StepPlace the seasoned broccoli in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the broccoli is slightly charred and crispy. (10 minutes)
09
StepSlice the pork tenderloin and serve immediately with the air-fried broccoli. Enjoy!
