I do love a Sunday roast, and cooking one in the air fryer couldn’t be easier. The crackling on this pork is unreal and the meat is so juicy. When cooking a joint of meat, I like to use a meat thermometer. This little device makes cooking even easier, as you don’t overcook or, most importantly, undercook!

Ingredients
pork loin joint 1 kg
potato 600 g (chipped)
kale 150 g (chopped)
yorkshire puddings 4
beef gravy granules 40 g
apple sauce 80 g
Method
Prep & cook the pork joint
Score the the pork skin with a sharp knife, don’t cut all the way through. Drizzle with some oil and rub with coarse sea salt.
Place the pork joint into the air fryer, skin-side down and cook at 190°C for 40 minutes, or until the top of the pork has begun to brown.
Prep the vegetables
Peel and slice potatoes into chunks. Chop the kale (if not already chopped).
Place the potatoes into a large bowl with a dash of oil and season with salt and pepper, toss to coat.
Add the potatoes to the pork
Once the pork has been cooking for 40 minutes, turn the joint over (skin-side up) and scatter the chopped potatoes around the edge of the pork.
Cook the pork and potatoes for another 40 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time.
At the end of the 40 minutes, the pork should be cooked (check that internal temperature has reached 75°C). Take the pork out and leave to rest, take the potatoes out and keep the ones that aren’t as golden as you’d like.
Cook the Yorkshire puddings
Add the Yorkshire puddings to the air fryer and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Cook the kale & carve the pork
Boil a kettle. Place the kale into a large heatproof bowl. Pour the boiled water over the kale and place a large plate on top. Leave for 2 minutes, drain the kale (you can pat it dry on kitchen paper if you like).
Make up the gravy granules with 140ml boiling water per serving.(So if you're cooking for 4, it'll be 560ml).
Carve the pork.
Plate Up
Serve your pork with crispy roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, kale, gravy and apple sauce. Enjoy!
