3. Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish and pour the maple-mustard glaze over it, making sure to coat it evenly.
4. Roast the pork tenderloin in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

6. Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve warm, drizzled with any remaining glaze from the baking dish.

Notes

Tip: If you have time, marinate the pork in the glaze for several hours or overnight for a more intense flavor.

For the best results, marinate the pork tenderloin in the glaze for a few hours or overnight to enhance the flavor. Be mindful not to overcook the pork; it should reach an internal temperature of 145°F for optimal juiciness. If you prefer a bit of heat, a dash of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes can be added to the glaze.

This dish can be easily stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave. Leftovers are fantastic in sandwiches or salads!
