How to Make Air Fryer Pork Loin with Vegetables and Bulgur
1. Season the Pork Loin
Cut the pork loin into suitable pieces. Season all sides generously with salt, black pepper, and grill seasoning.
Rub the seasoning into the meat so it is evenly coated. Let the pork marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
2. Prepare the Vegetables
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, whole garlic cloves, baby carrots, and Brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket.
Season the vegetables with salt, dried rosemary, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and grill seasoning. Drizzle with 20 ml olive oil and mix thoroughly so everything is evenly coated.
3. Air Fry the Vegetables
Cook the seasoned vegetables at 205°C / 400°F for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, wrap each piece of seasoned pork loin individually in foil.
4. Cook the Pork
After the vegetables have cooked for 12 minutes, carefully place the foil-wrapped pork pieces on top of the vegetables.
Reduce the air fryer temperature to 190°C / 375°F and cook for approximately 20 minutes.
Cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the pork pieces and your air fryer. For food safety, check the pork with a meat thermometer and cook to the appropriate safe internal temperature.
5. Add the Bulgur
Remove the cooked pork from the air fryer and carefully open the foil.
Add the 300 g (10.6 oz) pre-cooked bulgur to the roasted vegetables. Mix everything together so the bulgur absorbs the seasoning and juices from the vegetables.
Place the pork loin back on top of the vegetable and bulgur mixture, leaving it uncovered.
Increase the temperature to 205°C / 400°F and cook for another 6 minutes. This final step helps brown the pork and gives the vegetables and bulgur extra roasted flavor.
6. Serve
Spoon the roasted vegetables and bulgur onto serving plates.
Place a piece of pork loin on top and finish with a sprinkle of seeds and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve immediately while everything is hot.
