Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard, garlic, basil, thyme, rosemary, ¼ tsp of the salt, and 1/8 tsp of the pepper.
-
Sprinkle the pork tenderloin with the remaining ¼ tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of pepper. Using a brush, spread the mustard mixture over the entire pork tenderloin. Discard any unused mustard mixture. Place the pork tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin reads 145° F, about 40 minutes. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
