Directions
- Trim the pork tenderloins by removing the silverskin with a sharp knife. Cut pork tenderloin into 2-inch medallions and chill.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, honey, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
- Add pork medallions to the marinade and allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 450°F.
- Place pork on a greased tray in the air-fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through. Pork is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove from the air fryer and allow it to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
