Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin Tips
- Lining the pan with foil is optional, but it makes clean-up so much easier! (For photography purposes, I left my pan unlined.)
- On most pork tenderloin packages, the cook temperature is 425 degrees F. In my opinion, that is too hot. 400 degrees F. allows everything to cook nicely, yet not burn.
- It’s very important to let the pork tenderloin rest after it is removed from the oven. Put it on a cutting board, cover it with foil, and set your timer for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, and makes every slice moist & delicious.
- If you need to feed more than 2 or 3 people, simply double all the ingredients and use two sheet pans.
- I used Honeycrisp apples, but Gala, Gold Delicious, or Fuji apples would be very good as well.
