Danish pork roast in the air fryer

Here is my recipe for juicy Danish pork roast with crispy crackling made in the air fryer. It is so easy and quick to make a pork roast in the air fryer. Most people probably cook their pork roast in the oven or on the grill, but it is really delicious made in the air fryer. If there are many of you on Christmas Eve, the oven is better, but for a weeknight dinner the air fryer is genius. You can find my classic Danish pork roast in the oven here.

I have tried the air fryer a few times now, and it gives a really good result with flavourful, juicy meat and crispy crackling. I pour water into the bottom of the air fryer, which is perfect for making brown gravy.

• 1.5 kg pork loin with rind
• 2 tbsp. coarse salt
• 1 l water

Instructions

Pork roast in the air fryer

Make sure the pork loin fits the size of your air fryer basket.

The rind is often already scored when you buy pork loin. Go over the scores to make sure they are cut right down to where the meat starts. Rub the salt well into each groove in the rind. Also put salt on top of the rind and a little on the meat itself.

Place the pork loin in the air fryer basket. Pour water into the bottom. First give the roast about 50 minutes at 180°C, and then about 15 minutes at 205°C. The roast should have a core temperature of 65°C. Check the roast along the way. If the crackling is not crispy, give it a few more minutes at 205°C.

Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

This pork roast is made with just salt, but you can easily cook it with bay leaves, fresh thyme and whole peppercorns. You can also use cloves if you like. It adds lovely flavour to the meat and the gravy. Enjoy!

There are many advantages to an air fryer, and here are some of them:

• The air fryer is super easy to use and has different programmes depending on whether you are cooking chicken, fries or vegetables. You can also bake in the air fryer.
• You need very little fat, in fact up to 85% less fat.
• The food cooks really quickly, as the air fryer heats up fast. It takes about 20% less time in an air fryer.
• Cleaning the air fryer is super easy. The basket the food cooks in can go in the dishwasher, and it is also quick to wash by hand thanks to the non-stick coating.
• An air fryer uses less electricity.
