Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1-1.5 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8-10 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels, then rub it all over with olive oil.
  4. Coat the tenderloin generously with the brown sugar mixture, pressing it to adhere.
  5. Wrap the bacon slices around the tenderloin, slightly overlapping each piece. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  6. Place the wrapped tenderloin on a rack in a roasting pan or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium.
  8. Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to crisp up the bacon, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
