Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin, rinse it under cold water, and pat it dry with paper towels.
Mince the garlic cloves finely or crush them with the side of a knife.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika to form a paste.
Rub the garlic-herb paste all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the pork tenderloin on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the pork from the oven and tent it with foil. Allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes to retain the juices.
Slice the tenderloin into medallions and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
