Air frying pork loin can yield a succulent roast with perfectly crispy crackling, making it an ideal choice for a hearty meal. To achieve this, start by scoring the skin of the pork loin in a crosshatch pattern, ensuring you don’t cut into the meat itself. This allows the fat to render out while cooking, resulting in beautifully crunchy crackling.

Generously season the skin with coarse sea salt, pressing it into the scores to enhance flavour and texture. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 400°F) for optimal crisping. Place the pork loin in the air fryer basket, skin side up, and cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F). The combination of high heat and dry air circulating around the meat will transform the skin into a delightful golden crackle.

Once done, let the pork loin rest for a few minutes before slicing, allowing the juices to redistribute. Serve with roasted vegetables or apple sauce for a classic British twist on this delightful dish. Enjoy the satisfying crunch of the crackling, coupled with the tender, juicy meat beneath.
