- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it reduces the cooking time.
- No additional seasonings or rubs are required because the Smithfield pork loin is already marinated.
- Make sure you are using a small Smithfield pork tenderloin, weighing around 1 pound and having a 2-inch diameter. Adjust the cooking time accordingly if you have a smaller air fryer.
