My smokey roasted pork tenderloin with pineapple salsa is a quick and easy weeknight meal thanks to quick cooking pork. It's also the most exciting meal of the week, thanks to the tropical notes.
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.
