Cozy Fall Recipe: Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin

The Perfect Autumn Comfort Food: Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin

As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, I find myself craving warm, cozy meals that fill the house with delicious aromas. Today, I’m sharing a recipe for Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin that perfectly captures the essence of fall. The combination of sweet maple syrup and savory pork creates a mouthwatering dish that is sure to become a seasonal favorite.

To start, gather your ingredients:

• pork tenderloin (500g)
• maple syrup (100ml)
• Dijon mustard (30g)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• fresh rosemary (2 sprigs, chopped)
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)

Before you begin, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and gather your kitchen tools:

• baking dish
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• knife
• cutting board
• measuring cups

Start by seasoning the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. In a small mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and chopped rosemary. Whisk the mixture until well combined. Pour the maple glaze over the seasoned pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the maple glaze occasionally during cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.

Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat succulent and tender. Slice the pork tenderloin into thick medallions and drizzle any remaining maple glaze over the top for an extra burst of flavor.

This Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin serves 4 and weighs approximately 600g when cooked. Each serving is around 150g and has an estimated calorie count of 300. For a unique twist, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the maple glaze for a hint of smokiness that complements the sweetness perfectly.

I hope you enjoy making this Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin as much as I do. It’s a simple yet impressive dish that is perfect for a cozy autumn dinner with friends and family. Feel free to customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences and make it your own. Happy cooking!
