PIN Air Fryer Pork Loin Roast to try it later!

Today I’m excited to share this new recipe for Air Fryer Pork Loin Roast! Are you wondering how I came to be making Pork Loin Roast in the Air Fryer when I recently shared Instant Pot Balsamic Pork Roast and also updated my old favorite Slow Cooker Balsamic Pork Roast?

I’m crediting the huge pork loin roasts that are such a bargain at Costco for my obsession with pork roast recipes lately! I bought a HUGE Pork Loin Roast to work on the Instant Pot and Slow Cooker recipes, and I had a big enough piece left to freeze for another meal, so a few weeks later I pulled it out to experiment with Air Fryer Pork Loin Roast.

Kara and I both loved how our pork loin roast turned out in the Air Fryer, and it was done in 30 minutes, FTW! And this Air Fryer pork roast was so easy for a quick (and relatively inexpensive) main dish. If you’re an Air Fryer fan I hope you’ll try it!

Air Fry Pork Loin Roast compared to other methods:

The Air Fryer pork roast was a bit more chewy and slightly firmer than the Instant Pot or Slow Cooker pork roast, but equally delicious.

What Air Fryer did I use?

I love my Cuisinart Convection Air Fryer Toaster Oven which is what I used for this recipe. This air fryer has a larger basket, which made it easy to fit a a pork roast. (Air fryer links are affiliate links. Use Air Fryer Recipes to see the other Air Fryer recipes on this site.)

How to Make Air Fryer Pork Loin Roast:

(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

1. Trim the pork roast, cutting off some fat if there is a lot.
2. If your roast has a layer of fat over the top, cut that in slits.
3. Rub the roast with olive oil.
4. We used same Rosemary and Garlic Herb Rub that we used for the Instant Pot and Slow Cooker pork roasts, but you can use any kind of spice and herb mixture that’s good on pork.
5. Be sure the roast has come to room temperature when you’re ready to cook.
6. Set Air Fryer to 360F/180C. If your Air Fryer has multiple functions, be sure it is on Air Fry. 
7. Cook 30 minutes, or until the pork reaches 145F/60C on an Instant Read Meat Thermometer (affiliate link).
8. The fat on ours got a bit dark, but even the darker parts tasted great when we ate it. (If you Air Fryer has different heights where you can put the tray, I’d put it in the lower slot next time.)
9. Let the roast rest a few minutes before slicing. 
10. Serve hot, and the leftovers will also be good cold for sandwiches or to use in a salad or stir-fry.

Notes

I really like this Rosemary and Garlic Herb Rub on pork, and I make it in batches to keep in the spice cupboard. But you can use any rub or herb and spice mixture that's good on pork. Check out Pork Roast with Sage or Rosemary Herb Rub if you'd like to try making this in the oven.
