Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin about 1 to 1½ pounds
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
- 5 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar replacement
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
- Season the pork tenderloin on all sides with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Wrap the tenderloin in the bacon slices to cover. Use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place, if necessary.
- Stir together the brown sugar replacement and cayenne to combine and sprinkle over the bacon wrapped pork. Lightly press the mixture into the bacon.
- Roast in the oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. If bacon is not as crisp as you’d like, place the pan under the broiler and cook until bacon is crisp. Keep a close eye on it as the broiler goes quick.
- Slice into 1 ½ inch thick slices and serve.
Notes
We use Lakanto Brown Monkfruit Sweetener in this recipe. It bakes and tastes just like sugar with 0 net carbs. Swerve brown sugar is also a great option.
