    This pork recipe was super easy and really tasty! It didn't take much time at all, which makes it a perfect weeknight dinner. I served it with some baked sweet potatoes.

    Tender, moist, and fragrant, this hearty pork tenderloin with rosemary and garlic is a breeze to prepare.

    2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    Cooking spray

    Preheat oven to 475°.

    Combine the rosemary and garlic. Make several ½-inch-deep slits in pork; place about half of rosemary mixture in slits. Rub pork with remaining rosemary mixture; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place pork on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray. Insert a meat thermometer into thickest portion of pork.

    Bake at 475° for 20 minutes or until the thermometer registers 160° (slightly pink) or desired degree of doneness. Let stand 5 minutes, and cut into ¼-inch-thick slices.

    Note: Strip rosemary leaves by running your fingertips along the stem in the opposite direction from which the leaves grow.
