Ingredients

• 1 piece (approximately 1-1.5 lbs) pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh thyme
• 3 cloves, minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Season the pork tenderloin with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, and thyme. Mix well to form a paste.

Step 5

Using a brush or your hands, evenly spread the herb and mustard mixture over the entire surface of the pork tenderloin.

Step 6

In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 7

Roll the pork tenderloin in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the herb crust adheres evenly.

Step 8

Place the pork tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Roast the pork tenderloin for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve the herb-crusted pork tenderloin warm, paired with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
