Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 10 slices Bacon
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture evenly across the surface of the pork. Ensure all parts of the tenderloin are coated.

Step 4

On a clean surface, lay out the bacon slices side by side, slightly overlapping each other to form a large sheet of bacon.

Step 5

Place the pork tenderloin at one end of the bacon sheet and carefully roll it up so that the bacon wraps tightly around the entire tenderloin.

Step 6

Use kitchen twine tied at 2-inch intervals to secure the bacon in place and prevent it from unraveling during cooking.

Step 7

Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.

Step 8

Sprinkle the fresh rosemary evenly on top of the wrapped tenderloin for added flavor.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

For an extra crispy bacon exterior, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the tenderloin rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve slices of the bacon-wrapped tenderloin warm, enjoying the juicy interior and crispy exterior.
