These pork tenderloins and sweet potatoes make a great main dish for your family. Add a green vegetable or a salad, and your menu is complete!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil, plus more for greasing
- ½ cup pineapple preserves
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, or to taste
- 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 ½ pounds pork tenderloins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), if recommended by manufacturer.
Step 2
Combine olive oil, pineapple preserves, garlic granules, cayenne, salt, and white pepper in a large mixing bowl; stir to combine.
Step 3
Place sweet potato pieces into the mixing bowl and toss with the pineapple preserves mixture. Remove sweet potatoes to a plate, reserving the remaining pineapple mixture.
Step 4
Pat tenderloins dry with paper towels. Place in the mixing bowl with the remaining pineapple mixture and toss to coat.
Step 5
Brush interior basket of the air fryer with the remaining olive oil. Place tenderloins in the basket, and in a single layer, add as many sweet potato pieces as will fit around the tenderloins. Set aside extra sweet potato pieces. You will cook them as a second batch.
Step 6
Air fry for 10 minutes. Turn tenderloins over, browned side down. Stir sweet potatoes, but keep them in a single layer. Air fry until pork loin is slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). If the tenderloins need more cooking time, turn them again and continue cooking and testing the temperature in 5 minute increments.
Step 7
Remove sweet potatoes from the air fryer when they are tender and caramelized. (See Cook's Note).
Step 8
When the tenderloins test done, place them on a platter and tent with foil. Allow to rest while the remaining sweet potatoes cook, about 10 more minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
I used pineapple preserves without added sugar and 2 pork tenderloins weighing 1.25 pounds each.
