Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 10 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin, then pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt.
Rub the olive oil over the pork tenderloin, then season evenly with the spice mix.
Place the thyme sprigs along the pork, then lay the bacon slices horizontally across the pork tenderloin, slightly overlapping them, to fully cover the tenderloin.
Secure the bacon by tying kitchen twine around the pork at 1-inch intervals, tucking in the ends.
Place the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin on a roasting rack set inside a baking sheet, ensuring the bacon seam is on the underside.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
For extra crispy bacon, you can briefly broil the pork under high heat for about 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
