Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Trim any silver skin or excess fat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
Lay the bacon strips out on a cutting board so they slightly overlap. Place the seasoned pork tenderloin at one edge of the bacon strips.
Roll the pork tenderloin tightly with the bacon strips, ensuring the bacon ends are tucked underneath the pork.
Transfer the bacon-wrapped pork to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, seam side down.
Place the fresh rosemary sprigs on top of the pork for added flavor.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
For crispy bacon, switch the oven to broil setting for an additional 5 minutes, keeping an eye to avoid burning.
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin in slices, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
