Kitchen Notes & Tips

• The air fryer used for this recipe is listed below. Note that the cooking times and instructions for the pork tenderloin and the size of the whole carrots will vary among different units.
• For best results, remove the pork tenderloin from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• If you don’t want to use carrots for this recipe, you can use sweet potatoes or green beans.
• Important: The safe internal temperature for pork tenderloin is 145°F. Remove from the air fryer when the temperature is just above 140°F as the temperature will continue to rise several degrees while the pork rests. For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature after 15 minutes and adjust the final cook time accordingly.

How To Make Orange Sweet Chili-Glazed Pork Tenderloin

#1. Prepare the marinade by combining all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.

#2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry using clean paper towels. Place it in a gallon-sized freezer bag and pour one-half of the marinade on top, reserving the rest to use later. If you’re preparing in advance, place the reserved marinade in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator until it’s ready to use.

#3. Tightly seal the bag and marinate the pork at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes or place it in the refrigerator overnight. Turn the bag several times while marinating to ensure the pork is evenly covered.

#4. Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and set aside.

#5. Turn on the air fryer and select the “Air Crisp” function. Set the temperature to 400°F and adjust the timer to 20 minutes. Press “Start” to pre-heat the unit.

Cooking the Pork Tenderloin

#6. While the air fryer is heating, place the carrots on a plate and drizzle one tablespoon of the remaining marinade on top. Toss the carrots to ensure they are evenly coated and set aside.

#7. When the air fryer beeps and flashes “Add Food,” place each marinated and sliced pork inside the basket. Add the whole carrots around the pork, as shown, and close the lid.

#8. After 10 minutes, lift the lid and carefully turn the tenderloin and whole carrots. Close the lid and continue air frying until the cooking time is complete.

#9. Remove the pork tenderloin and carrots from the air fryer. Place pork on a plate to rest for 3-5 minutes.

#10. While the pork is resting, heat the remaining orange marinade just until warm. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve immediately with the whole carrots and a drizzle of the warm marinade on top. Enjoy!
