4. 4Place the pork tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet and spray the pork with a nonstick spray.
5. 5Place it in the oven and roast for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until done to your liking. Use an instant read thermometer for desired level of doneness.

11. 11Cover the pork tenderloin with a foil tent and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
