Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon olive oil, Dijon mustard, soy sauce or coconut aminos, garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry. Rub the seasoning mixture all over. If one end is very thin, tuck it under for even thickness.
  4. Place the pork in the basket, optionally on perforated keto air fryer parchment. Air fry at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway, until the thickest part reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit on a [digital meat thermometer](https://rocktopgear.com/amazon).
  5. Transfer pork to a board and let it rest for at least 3 minutes to meet USDA guidance.
  6. While the pork rests, increase the air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss broccoli, zucchini, and red pepper with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Air fry vegetables at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking once, until crisp-tender with browned edges.
  8. Slice the pork and serve over the roasted vegetables. Add a squeeze of lemon if desired.
