Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C), if recommended by manufacturer. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Combine olive oil, pineapple preserves, garlic granules, cayenne, salt, and white pepper in a large mixing bowl; stir to combine. (3 minutes)

03

Step

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. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Pat tenderloins dry with paper towels. Place in the mixing bowl with the remaining pineapple mixture and toss to coat. (5 minutes)

05

Step

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. (5 minutes)

06

Step

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. (20-30 minutes)

07

Step

Remove sweet potatoes from the air fryer when they are tender and caramelized. (See Cook's Note). (5-10 minutes)

08

Step

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. (10 minutes)

For extra flavor, marinate the pork tenderloins in the pineapple mixture for at least 30 minutes before air frying.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook the sweet potatoes in batches to ensure even cooking and optimal caramelization.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the pineapple preserves mixture.
