Ingredients

Pork

  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo
  • 1/2 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1/2 tablespoon monk fruit powdered, omit if using coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Gremolata

  • 1/2 cup cilantro minced (will be 1/4 cup when chopped)
  • 1 small garlic clove minced
  • zest of half a lime grated, or more to taste
  • pinch cumin optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and grease it with a bit of oil. Set aside.
  • Combine the garlic, chipotle, soy, sweetener, and lime juice in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, rub with the reserved sauce. Place the pork on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork registers 145ºF. Transfer pork to a cutting board and tent with foil to rest at least for at least 5 minutes.
