Equipment
Baking Sheet
Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. high quality pork tenderloin (Swift Premium is a good brand)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp thyme
- Dash rosemary
- 2 tsp salt

Instructions
Marinade
- Place olive oil and pork in gallon size zip-lock bag.
- Grind all spices in a spice mortar. Sprinkle mortared seasoning over pork, close bag, and toss. Feel free to also just rub the seasoning into the oiled pork by hand. I prefer to toss in a bag for easy clean up.
- Place in refrigerator to marinate 2-4 hours or more.
Roasting
- Remove pork from fridge 30 minutes before placing in oven to allow to bring to room temperature, if you do not have time for this add 4-5 minutes of extra cooking time.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees, line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place tenderloins at least 1 inch apart onto lined sheet.
- Place in preheated oven and let roast for 8 minutes.
- Leave roast in the oven, turn temperature down to 325 degrees. Roast for an additional 18 minutes.
- Remove from oven when timer goes off. Let rest covered for 10 minutes. Slice and eat!
