Instructions

Mix oil, brown sugar, ranch seasoning, chili powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne together in a small bowl, then rub it onto the pork tenderloins. Set aside.
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F and grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Cook 1 pork tenderloin for 10-20 minutes*, or until the internal temperature of the pork is 145 degrees F. Flip the pork halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove pork and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Repeat with the other tenderloin, then serve with honey mustard sauce for dipping.

Notes

*Cook time will depend on how large your pork tenderloin is and how “done” you want it. 145 degrees F is considered medium-rare, safe to eat, and will result in the juiciest texture. Mine both took about 15 minutes.
