Indulge in crispy maple bacon-wrapped pork medallions. Air fryer magic delivers perfect texture and flavor for your comfort food cravings!
Ingredients
- • Pork tenderloin: 1 pound, sliced into 1-inch medallions
- • Bacon: 12 slices
- • Maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
- • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Fresh thyme: 1 tablespoon, chopped
- • Olive oil spray
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir until well mixed.
- 3 Wrap each pork medallion with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary. Brush each bacon-wrapped medallion generously with the maple glaze mixture.
- 4 Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Arrange the bacon-wrapped pork medallions in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not touch.
- 5 Air fry the medallions for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- 6 Remove the medallions from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional glaze and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
Serving Suggestions
- • These crispy maple bacon-wrapped pork medallions pair beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or a rich, cheesy risotto. Add a side of roasted Brussels sprouts or glazed carrots for a well-rounded meal. For a beverage pairing, consider a glass of Chardonnay or a crisp apple cider to complement the sweet and savory notes of the dish.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover medallions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy.
