Instructions
- Bring your pork tenderloins out onto the counter and preheat your oven to 475F.
- Rub the tenderloins all over with olive oil and salt. Sprinkle the paprika and chipotle powder over the top and rub in with your clean hands. Place the pork on a baking sheet with sides or in a baking pan. You can line with foil if you like for easier cleanup.
- When the oven has reached temperature, put the meat in, and immediately reduce the temperature to 425F.
- Roast for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145F.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to settle.
- Serve with pineapple salsa.

Notes
- a serving of pork tenderloin is generally about 3 ounces, so count on 2 pork tenderloins feeding at least 6.
- If you like you can brown the meat on the stove top first for more caramelization. Alternatively you can run the meat under the broiler at the very end.
- Nutrition info is just for the pork. See pineapple salsa recipe for that nutritional breakdown.
