I always thought pork tenderloin was expensive, so I never bought it. But I took advantage of a buy one, get one free sale recently and now I’m in love with that cut of pork. It is delicious when roasted. One package has two tenderloins, so I roasted them both at the same time and we had enough leftovers for two more meals.
Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients:
2 lbs pork tenderloin
5 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
3 – 4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a mini food processor, puree the garlic, herbs and olive oil into a paste.
3. Rub the herb paste all over the tenderloins. Place tenderloins on a roasted pan.
4. Place in oven and roast 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
Additional Ideas: Serve with mango peach, tomato, or apple salsa.
Cook once, eat twice: Make tacos with the leftover pork for the next day’s lunch or dinner.

Can you believe I’ve never made anything with pork tenderloin? I sometimes have seen it for cheap but have never been sure how to make it….maybe because my mom never bought it? I don’t know, but I’m going to pin this recipe and when I see it next time I’ll buy it and make it this way!

My mom never bought it either. But a friend served it when she had us over for dinner and I was hooked.
