This recipe utilizes an air fryer to significantly cut down on cooking time compared to a traditional oven, delivering a tangy mustard-coated pork tenderloin alongside crispy potatoes and fresh green beans. Whether you're looking for a speedy weeknight dinner or something special, this dish fits the bill perfectly.

Ingredients

For the Pork Tenderloin:

  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Potatoes and Green Beans:

  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork Tenderloin:

  • Marinate: In a bowl, mix Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, then coat it evenly with the mustard mixture. For best results, let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, though 4 hours is ideal if you have the time.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
  • Cook the Pork: Place the marinated pork tenderloin into the Air Fryer Mustard Crusted Pork Tenderloin With Potatoes And Green Bean. Cook it at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, turning it halfway through to ensure even cooking. The pork is done when the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). After cooking, allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

2. Prepare the Potatoes and Green Beans:

  • Cook the Potatoes: Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them in the air fryer basket around the pork tenderloin, or cook them separately if there’s not enough space. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
  • Cook the Green Beans: While the pork and potatoes are cooking, steam the green beans until tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Once steamed, toss the green beans with lemon juice and butter. This adds a fresh and zesty flavor, enhancing their natural sweetness.

Final Assembly

After cooking, slice the pork tenderloin and arrange it on a serving platter with the crispy potatoes and green beans. This dish not only delivers a delicious blend of flavors but also looks great on the plate, making it perfect for both everyday meals and special occasions.

Tips for Success

  • Marination: For deeper flavor, allow the pork tenderloin to marinate longer if possible.
  • Air Fryer Variability: Cooking times may vary based on the air fryer model, so check the pork’s internal temperature to ensure it's cooked to your liking.
  • Potato Crispiness: For extra crispiness, make sure the potatoes are in a single layer in the air fryer basket and give them a shake halfway through cooking.

This method reduces cooking time drastically compared to a traditional oven while still achieving a tender and flavorful pork tenderloin paired with crispy potatoes and fresh green beans. Enjoy your meal with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.
