Roasted Pork Tenderloin

This little gem was found on the WW website.  Vic loved it so much, he ate what equated to 4 servings!

Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Serves: 8
Points: 3

Ingredients

1 spray cooking spray
2 tsp dried thyme, or 2 tbsp freshly chopped thyme
2 tsp dried oregano, or 2 tbsp freshly chopped oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp table salt (I used kosher)
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 tsp olive oil
2 pound lean pork tenderloin

Instructions

1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.

2) Combine thyme, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl, set aside.

3) Rub oil over pork.  Sprinkle thyme mixture all over pork and transfer to prepared pan.

4) Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of pork reads 160 degrees, about 30 minutes.  (Okay, here's the deal on this.  I roasted it for the 30 minutes and the thermometer read 140.  Knowing that it was going to "rest" I decided to take it out.  And it was properly cooked.  Also, mine was actually 2, 1 pound tenderloins so I am sure that made a difference.)

5) Let stand 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into thin( 1/2-inch thick) slices.
