Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lb pork loin roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
Dry Rub
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- ½ tsp cayenne
Instructions
- Combine the dry dub ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.
- Coat all sides of the pork loin with oil. Sprinkle with the dry rub and use your hands to press it into all sides of the roast so it sticks. You should use all of the dry rub, adding multiple coats if needed.
- Preheat your air fryer to 360 for 5 minutes.
- Add the roast and cook for 15 minutes per pound - my 2.87 lb roast took about 40 minutes. The internal temperature should be at 145 degrees.
- Let it rest tented with foil. Serve with sides of choice and enjoy!
Notes
Weight: My pork loin weighed 2.87 lbs and took 40 minutes to cook in the air fryer. If your pork loin is bigger or smaller, adjust the cooking time in increments of 15 minutes per pound. If you aren’t sure if it’s done, use an instant read thermometer (meat thermometer). The internal temperature should read 145 degrees F.
Slicing: This air fryer pork roast turns out incredibly tender, so slicing should not be an issue. Using a cutting board and sharp knife, slice the cooked pork loin into ½ inch slices.
Serving: I served mine warm alongside mashed sweet potatoes and green beans. Feel free to serve with your favorite side dishes—vegetables like broccoli or asparagus work well, and any kind of potato– baked, mashed, or roast potatoes are great options.
Storage: Store leftover pork roast in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes, and serve with sides of choice.
