Ingredients

Servings4

1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch medallions
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup substitute (e.g., Lakanto or ChocZero)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the pork medallions dry with paper towels. Lightly coat them with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, sugar-free maple syrup substitute, and apple cider vinegar until smooth to create the glaze.
Arrange the pork medallions in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 7 minutes.
Flip the medallions carefully using tongs or a spatula. Brush tops generously with the maple mustard glaze.
Continue air frying for another 6 to 8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the exterior is crispy and caramelized. Brush the glaze once more halfway through the second cooking stage for extra flavor.
Remove the pork medallions from the air fryer and let rest for 3 minutes to lock in juices.
Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired, then serve immediately with your favorite sides or store cooled medallions in an airtight container for meal prep.

Recipe guidance

Crispiness Control

Pat the pork tenderloin dry, avoid crowding, and use only a light coat of oil or sauce before cooking. Add wet sauces near the end when you want the outside to stay crisp.
