Ingredients
To make this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is preheating, take the pork tenderloin and season it with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cumin. Make sure the pork is evenly coated with the spices.
Once the oven is preheated, place the pork tenderloin on a baking sheet and place it in the oven. Bake the pork for 30 minutes. While the pork is baking, prepare your side dishes. For this recipe, I recommend mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
Once the pork is finished baking, remove it from the oven and place it on a plate or cutting board to rest for 10 minutes. Once the pork has rested, slice it into medallions and serve it with your side dishes. Enjoy!
