Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (for glaze)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, chili flakes, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  3. Rub the marinade all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. While the pork is roasting, whisk together the additional maple syrup and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
  7. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the maple-mustard glaze over the sliced pork and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip: For a delicious twist, serve this dish with roasted seasonal vegetables or a fresh salad to complement the rich flavors of the pork.

For the best results, let the pork tenderloin sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly. If you prefer a milder flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of chili flakes or replace them with a more subtle seasoning like smoked paprika.

To store leftovers, simply wrap the pork tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  3. Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
