With pork tenderloin now about as lean as an equivalent-sized skinless chicken breast, you can add this succulent herbed pork tenderloin to your list of low-fat favorites.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped mixed fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, sage and parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Trim pork tenderloin of excess fat. Spray pork briefly with nonstick cooking spray. Rub with fresh herb mixture.

Place pork in a small, shallow roasting pan, tucking thin end of tenderloin under to ensure even roasting.

Roast for 20-25 minutes, until an internal thermometer reads 155 degrees Fahrenheit, and the juices run clear. Allow to stand for 10 minutes, allowing the temperature to reach 160 degrees. Slice thinly.
