Step 1

Season pork with salt and pepper. Lay the bacon on a cutting board to be roughly the same size as the tenderloin.

Step 2

Cut two bacon strips in half (since the ends are thinner, they don’t need a whole strip). Lay two halves next to each other, then four full strips, then the other two halves next to each other.

Step 3

Carefully lay the tenderloin over the bacon. Tightly roll up the pork jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie the roast at 2- inch intervals with kitchen string each about 12-inches long.

Step 4

Carefully cut the tenderloin in half to fit in the air fryer.

Step 5

Put the tenderloin inside and fry at 400 F for 20 minutes turning halfway, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145-150 F. Let the pork rest about 5 minutes before slicing. Slice into 12 slices.
