Here’s a full recipe for Air Fryer Balsamic Pork that you can follow, including time, temperature, and step-by-step instructions:

Ingredients:

• 2 pork chops or pork tenderloin (about 1 inch thick)
• 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried rosemary (or thyme)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, rosemary (or thyme), salt, and pepper.
   • Whisk everything together until well combined.
2. Marinate the Pork:
   • Place the pork chops or pork tenderloin in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
   • Pour the balsamic marinade over the pork, ensuring it’s well coated.
   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours. (You can marinate it overnight for more flavor.)
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Air Fry the Pork:
   • Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
   • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a little oil.
   • Place the pork in the air fryer basket, making sure there’s space between each piece for air circulation.
   • Cooking time:
     • For pork chops: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
     • For pork tenderloin: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
   Tip: If you’re using a pork tenderloin, you may need to cut it into smaller pieces to fit in the air fryer basket.
5. Check for Doneness:
   • Pork is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.
   • Once done, remove the pork from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
6. Optional Glaze:
   • If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can simmer the leftover marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens, then drizzle it over the cooked pork.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
   • Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Tips:

• If you’re using a pork tenderloin, you can slice it into medallions after cooking for easier serving.
• You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave if you prefer.
• For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a little heat.
