Ingredients
Scale
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels.
Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and garlic powder to make the glaze.
Pour half of the glaze over the pork tenderloin.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Brush the remaining glaze over the pork during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, you can marinate the pork tenderloin in the glaze for at least 30 minutes before roasting.
Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a touch of heat.
Serve with your favorite roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
