Instructions

- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray.
- Trim the excess fat and the silverskin off of the pork tenderloins and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl combine all of the spices and whisk together. Pour half of the spice mixture onto each pork tenderloin and rub it evenly into the meat.
- Place the pork into the oven and roast it for 25 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 145° F. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing it.
