Centre cut pork loin roasts are a perfectly sized roast for most air fryer baskets. An air fryer’s small cooking space can result in less even cooking; be sure to flip and rotate pork occasionally and test internal temperature frequently near the end of roasting to avoid over-cooking and drying out the meat.
