Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium, ripe Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then season evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned pork tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is roasting, prepare the avocado spread: in a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Toast the whole grain bread slices until lightly golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich: spread avocado mixture on one slice of toasted bread. Add a layer of baby spinach, sliced tomato, and several slices of roasted pork. Spread Dijon mustard on another slice of bread and top the sandwich.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.
