Grease the air fryer’s basket or a wire rack with nonstick spray.
1 Pork Sprinkle 5ml (1t) of the salt over the pork rind. Put the pork on a wire rack, rind facing upward, and chill in the fridge for 2 hours. Dab the rind dry (the salt will have formed droplets).
2 Preheat the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to 200°C. Put the pork on a plank with the rind facing upward. Rub the garlic, pepper and oil into the meat, then sprinkle 2,5ml (½t) of the salt over.
3 Turn the pork over and put it on the prepared baking sheet or air fryer basket with the rind facing upward.
4 Sprinkle the rest of the salt over the rind, then roast for 20 minutes.
5 Turn the temperature down to 160°C and roast for another 35-40 minutes or until the rind is golden brown and crispy and the pork cooked to your liking.
6 Remove from the fryer and set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.
7 Salad Lightly toss all the ingredients.
8 Dressing Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
9 Cut the pork loin into portions and serve with the salad and dressing.
