Ninja Foodi Pork Tenderloin (Air Fryer) (2024)

Absolutely no where near done after 20 min

I don’t have a cooking thermometer so how will I know if it’s done?

Thanks for the cooking guide! I cooked it for 25 minutes, but probably could have been done at 20. I bought an already seasoned loin at the store. Paired it with the old stand-by “Suddenly Salad” and some steamed green beans. Yum!

I had a 4 pound tenderloin that was too big to fit so I cut it in half and cooked one half at a time. The first one I tried 20 minutes and it was not done in the middle at all, so I sliced it up because we needed it done quick and put it back in for 5 minutes and it was cooked through and tasted great. I’m wondering if the circumference was bigger than a 2 pound so that’s why it wasn’t cooked all the way? The second half was even fatter around so i did 20 minutes on the air fryer then checked the temp, which was at 130. Since it was pretty brown and looked great on the outside I switched the ninja to bake/roast hoping that it wouldn’t get too brown but cook the inside. I set it for 15 minutes and checked it again and it was 165 degrees so I guess that was overkill. It did get a bit more brown but not too much. So, next time, I’ll look for a thinner cut or turn the temp down and cook longer for a large cut like this one. Overall this was a good starting point so that I didn’t have to totally guess how to cook this meat. Thanks!! Oh and I”m also wondering if I could have cooked both pieces on the two lever rack and how that might affect the time and temp? Any ideas??

I made this for dinner. I put the oil on first, then rubbed on a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. The crispy skin was wonderful. I can’t wait to use the air fryer to cook another tenderloin. Delicious!
I cooked two different tenderloins. I took one out after 15 minutes, cut it to check the color, and it was done. The second tenderloin was thicker. I cooked it for 20 minutes, and it was done.
I know I’m supposed to use a meat thermometer, but I haven’t had great luck with the Ninja thermometer so far.

Unless I missed it you didn’t mention what to use to cook for 20 min. Air crisp or bake/roast or doesn’t it matter.

Instead of air fryer can you cook a pork loin on bake? If so what temp and how long? Every recipe I see is always air fryer and never toast or bake. I’m new to this all and I’m confused. It’s like why have all these other functions on the food I if everything I’d fry? Thank you for your help.
P.S. Happy New Year

Do you need to flip the tenderloin halfway through?

Hi! Thanks for sharing g this recipe. I had 2 loins in one package equaling about 3 pounds. I preheated the air crisper for 10 minutes at 400° after 40 minutes at 400° it is nowhere near done. I still have totally raw meat in there. The loins are not overlapping or even touching. ??????????

Hi! I just got a ninja foodi and am excited to try this recipe! Should I use the air fryer basket plate thing or can I just put it in the base pot and do the air crisp function?

Learned so much from this email am new to air frying making pork roast in my ninja foodi tomorrow will let u know how it turns out am trying to use it every day as much as possible thanks for the help

I’m wanting to do my pork loin i the Ninja

Are directions for air fryer the same as for air fryer oven. I’m a new user.

Can I start it frozen?

I get a preseason one that my daughter loves (She’s 26) and she asks me to cook one every week. I never even tried cooking a tenderloin until I got my Foodi and now with the help of your recipes I am cooking more and better than I ever have. Thanks for taking the time to help others that have no clue how to really use the foodi and make great easy meals.

thanks –I am making it today. But I am only making one if that is ok. I have the Ninja Foodi.
