    Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin

    Are you in the mood for a simple yet delicious dinner tonight or looking for a great entrée to serve guests?  If so, check out this recipe for succulent and fragrant Herb Crusted Roasted Pork Tenderloin.

    Why you will love this recipe:

    1. It’s a quick, healthy, and easy way to prepare pork tenderloin.
    2. It features juicy, tender, delectable pork tenderloin that can be cooked in only 30 minutes.
    3. It’s low in carbs and low in calories.

    Chicken and pork tenderloin are staples at our house, and we have them often. In fact, my husband jokes that it’s almost all we ever eat. Not quite true, but I do prepare both often.

    I guess it’s because both are easy and quick to prepare, healthy, relatively low in calories, and there are thousands of different ways to prepare them.

    But today, I want to tell you about this delicious Crusted Roasted Pork Tenderloin recipe. It’s easy enough for a quick weeknight meal with the family, but it’s also an entree you would be proud to serve at a dinner party. Another bonus, you probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry!

    Here’s what you need to make this recipe:

    The ingredients for Herb Crusted Roasted Pork Tenderloin are simple, all you will need are pork tenderloins, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, rosemary, and sage, or you could use Herbs de Provence instead of the other spices, kosher salt and pepper, and Dijon mustard. That’s it!

    Herb Crusted Roasted Pork Tenderloin Ingredients

    Here’s how to make this recipe:

    Ready to get started If so, gather your ingredients, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

    In a small bowl, mix the garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper.

    Place the tenderloins on a rack on the baking sheet.

    Roast the pork for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pork registers 140-145 degrees F. Let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes, slice and serve. (It’s ok if the meat is pink, as long as it reached the 140-145 degrees mark.)
