Ingredients:

• 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Rinse the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or silver skin.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the herb paste.
4. Rub the herb paste evenly over the entire surface of the pork tenderloin.
5. Place the pork tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin reads 145°F (63°C).
6. Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it's moist and flavorful.
7. Slice the pork tenderloin and serve immediately. Optional: Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a decorative touch.
