🔪 How To Air Fry A Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Nothing can beat the ease and convenience of using an air fryer! In fact, that is all you're going to need for this recipe!

Depending on the exact size of your pork, this recipe will make about 6 servings.

  1. Prepare bacon. On a cutting board or large tray, lay out your 6 bacon strips side by side so that they slightly overlap.
  2. Season. Season all sides of your 1½-pound pork tenderloin with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper, then set your pork tenderloin in the center of your bacon strips.
  3. Wrap the pork. Wrap one side of the bacon strips over the seasoned pork tenderloin and then overlap it with the second side of bacon. Use toothpicks to secure the bacon.
  4. Move to the air fryer. Gently transfer the bacon-wrapped tenderloin to the basket of your air fryer.
  5. Cook. Air fry your pork tenderloin at 400°F (205°C) for 20 minutes, making sure to rotate it halfway through cooking. Your pork is done when a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C).
  6. Rest. Remove the tenderloin from the air fryer and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

This meaty dish tastes great with so many different things! Serve your delicious pork tenderloin with some mashed potatoes and green beans almondine for a complete dinner. Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

  • You can never have too much bacon, so feel free to use as much as you like!
  • If your tenderloin is too long for your air fryer, you can cut it in half and place the two halves side by side (but leave some space between them). 
  • Your air fryer cooking time will vary based on your model and the actual weight and thickness of the pork tenderloin.
  • Make sure to let your pork rest after cooking so that it stays nice and juicy!
  • Don't forget the toothpicks! See my photos showing an easy way to secure the bacon and guiding for slicing.

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Keep your tenderloin in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheating Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

You can reheat your pork by heating it in short 30-second intervals in the microwave or by popping it back into the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) until warmed to your satisfaction!

❓ Recipe FAQs

How Long Do I Cook Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin In The Air Fryer?

At 400°F (205°C), a 1½-pound pork tenderloin will take about 20 minutes to cook, flipping halfway. Of course, the time will vary based on the exact weight of your pork and the model of your air fryer.

Can I Use Frozen Pork Tenderloin?

You can, but it will take longer to cook. When frozen, it could take closer to 30-45 minutes to fully cook.

Can I Eat Pink Pork?

It depends. Color is no longer a determining factor in whether or not pork is fully cooked. The best way to check is with a meat thermometer. It needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), which may or may not still have some pink color to it.
