Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Trim the pork tenderloins, removing any excess fat or silverskin.

Pat the pork dry using a paper towel.

Place the pork tenderloins in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish.

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pork tenderloins.

Rub the entire surface of the pork with olive oil, ensuring an even coating.

Combine sea salt, brown sugar, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and dried thyme in a small bowl. Mix well.

Rub the prepared dry rub onto all sides of the pork tenderloins, ensuring even coverage.

Roast the pork in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 140°F.

After removing the pan from the oven, loosely cover the pork with a piece of foil.

Let the meat rest for 10 minutes to allow the internal temperature to rise to 145°F and for the juices to redistribute.

Transfer the rested roast to a cutting board.

Slice the pork tenderloin into desired portions and place on a serving platter.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
