The key to a great roasted pork tenderloin is letting it rest after roasting but before slicing. This pork tenderloin is simple to prepare and the 30 minutes of roasting time is fully hands-free, making this ideal for heavy weeknight rotation. If you have a family of 4, there will be enough leftovers for a few lunch salads the next day. Try new flavor profiles by changing your dried or fresh herbs or add spices like smoked paprika before roasting. A simple side or roasted vegetable will allow this pork dish to shine.
