Start by preparing the ingredients for the pork loin.

Brush both sides of the pork loin with avocado oil.

Season the pork loin with salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, and coriander evenly.

Preheat the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker with air fry capability to 375°F for about 5 minutes.

Set the air fryer for 23 minutes, accounting for preheating time.

Once preheated, place the pork loin in the air fryer, leaving space between pieces for proper cooking.

While the pork is cooking, prepare the cherry gastrique in a small pot over medium-high heat.

Add pitted sweet cherries and monk fruit sweetener to the pot and stir.

Mash the cherries slightly to help them break down as they cook.

Once the cherries start producing juice, add white vinegar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.

Reduce the heat to low and let the gastrique simmer while the pork cooks.

After about 16 minutes, check the internal temperature of the pork; it should reach about 160°F before removing it from the air fryer.

Let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
