Brown Sugar Air Fryer Pork Roast

This air fryer pork roast has a caramelized crust that locks in a tender interior and is enhanced with a saucy sweet gravy. 

Ingredients:

2 1/4 lb boneless pork loin roast

2 tbsps finely chopped onion 

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp ground mustard

1 tsp minced dry onion

1 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp cayenne 

1/4 tsp turmeric 

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp olive oil 

salt and pepper to taste 

1 cup chicken broth

1 1/2 tbsps cornstarch

2 tbsps cold water

salt and pepper (or Mtl steak spice) 

Score through the fat of the pork loin then stuff the crevices with chopped onion. Mix the ingredients from brown sugar to salt and pepper together. Reserve 1 tsp of the mix for later. Spread the rest all over the pork. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours. Preheat air fryer at 360°F for 5 minutes. Unwrap meat and place in air fryer. Roast for 40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. While it rests, make the sauce. Add broth to a saucepan along with the reserved marinade paste. Whisk together and add any juices accumulated in the air fryer and on the plate where the roast is resting. Simmer together for 5 minutes. Mix the cornstarch and cold water together then whisk into the sauce. Simmer a couple of minutes to slightly thicken. Add salt and pepper or Montreal steak spice if desired. Serves 4
