Ingredients
Instructions
- Pat the pork dry and rub it all over with oil.
- Season evenly with salt, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, and black pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Place the pork joint in the basket, leaving space around it.
- Cook until well browned on the outside and cooked through, turning once halfway.
- Rest the meat for at least 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
Typical mistakes to avoid
Skipping the resting time makes the meat dry when sliced.
Cooking at too high a temperature can brown the outside before the inside is ready.
