Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 clove garlic, finely chopped (about 1/2 teaspoon)

Tips:

For the best results, use a pork tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight. This will ensure that the pork cooks evenly throughout.
Be sure to trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin before cooking. This will help the pork to cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming dry.
Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the pork.
Roast the pork tenderloin in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork tenderloin.

Conclusion:

Italian Roasted Pork Tenderloin is a flavorful and juicy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in under an hour. With its tender texture and delicious flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
