Air-Fryer Pork & Apple Tray Bake

Pork and apple have been a perfect match for generations, and there's no reason cooking for one should change that. This tray bake gives you a juicy pork chop, roasted apple, crispy potatoes and sweet onions, all coated in a light honey mustard glaze. It's hearty, comforting and made in exactly the right quantity for one person.

Air-Fryer Pork & Apple Tray Bake preparation stage

You’ll Need

Main
1 boneless pork loin chop (180–200g)
180g baby potatoes, halved
1 small eating apple, cored and cut into wedges
¼ small red onion, cut into wedges
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp wholegrain mustard
1 tsp runny honey
½ tsp dried thyme
Salt and black pepper

Optional but Dangerous
Apple sauce
Green beans
Crusty bread
Extra wholegrain mustard
Grated mature cheddar over the potatoes

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Toss the baby potatoes with the olive oil, thyme, salt and black pepper.

Place them into a foil tray or heatproof dish and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Mix the wholegrain mustard and honey together.

Brush the pork chop generously with the honey mustard glaze.

Add the pork chop, apple wedges and red onion to the tray alongside the potatoes.

Brush the remaining glaze over the apples and onions.

Return the tray to the air fryer and cook for 12–14 minutes, turning the pork halfway through, until the pork is cooked through, the potatoes are crisp and the apples are lightly caramelised.

Allow the pork to rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Spoon the roasted apples and onions over the pork and serve immediately.

Lad Tip: Don't be tempted to use cooking apples. A sweet eating apple like Gala, Braeburn or Pink Lady caramelises beautifully in the air fryer and balances the savoury pork perfectly.
