Ingredients
0.25 cups olive oil
, plus more for greasing
0.5 cups pineapple preserves
0.5 teaspoons granulated garlic
0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
, or to taste
0.5 teaspoons freshly ground white pepper
, or to taste
1.5 pounds sweet potatoes
, cut into 1-inch pieces
2.5 pounds pork tenderloins
Instructions
1
Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), if recommended by manufacturer.
2
Combine olive oil, pineapple preserves, garlic granules, cayenne, salt, and white pepper in a large mixing bowl; stir to combine.
3
Place sweet potato pieces into the mixing bowl and toss with the pineapple preserves mixture. Remove sweet potatoes to a plate, reserving the remaining pineapple mixture.
4
Pat tenderloins dry with paper towels. Place in the mixing bowl with the remaining pineapple mixture and toss to coat.
5
Brush interior basket of the air fryer with the remaining olive oil. Place tenderloins in the basket, and in a single layer, add as many sweet potato pieces as will fit around the tenderloins. Set aside extra sweet potato pieces. You will cook them as a second batch.
6
Air fry for 10 minutes. Turn tenderloins over, browned side down. Stir sweet potatoes, but keep them in a single layer. Air fry until pork loin is slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). If the tenderloins need more cooking time, turn them again and continue cooking and testing the temperature in 5 minute increments.
7
Remove sweet potatoes from the air fryer when they are tender and caramelized. (See Cook's Note).
8
When the tenderloins test done, place them on a platter and tent with foil. Allow to rest while the remaining sweet potatoes cook, about 10 more minutes.
