Ingredients
- Pork tenderloin
- 1 pound
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Honey
- 1/4 cup
- Dried lavender flowers
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dried lavender flowers, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant glaze.
- Place the pork tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Generously brush the lavender and honey glaze all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
- Roast the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Once done, remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the pork in the glaze for an hour before roasting.
- If you can't find dried lavender flowers, consider using lavender-infused olive oil as an alternative.
