    • Braided Pork Tenderloin

    This recipe was inspired by our honeymoon back in 2021! We had pork tenderloin on the trip with Sweet Potatoes and the best Red Chimichurri Sauce. Ever since that trip I knew I had to bring this recipe to the blog. 

    Why I Love This Recipe

    • This recipe only takes 15 minutes to prepare! No more running around when right before hosting, instead you can prepare this recipe beforehand and pop it in the oven prior to eating. 
    • This recipe pairs well with just about anything from my Pesto Orzo Salad, Gluten Free Pasta Salad, Crockpot Gluten Free Mac and Cheese, and my Ninja Air Fryer Potato Wedges.
    • You can make this recipe as is, or smoother it in BBQ sauce on top!
    • This recipe is naturally dairy free, gluten free, soy free, paleo, celiac friendly and nut free. 

    Recipe Ingredients

    Braided pork tenderloin ingredients in small glass bows.
    • Pork tenderloin-Make sure you buy one that is not marinated. I found it that marinating it with your own marinate makes it so much juicer and taste so much better. 
    • Bone broth-This keeps the pork nice and moist. 
    • Fat-Melted butter, ghee or avocado oil. This will get the seasoning to stick.
    • Spices-My go to for this recipe are oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, paprika and pepper.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Recipe Substitutions and Variations

    • BBQ sauce-You can marinate it in BBQ sauce and bake it off in that if you love the BBQ flavor.

    This recipe has not been tested with other substitutions or variations. If you replace or add any ingredients, please let us know how it turned out in the comments below!

    Recipe Instructions

    Raw pork tenderloin in a bowl with seasoned herbs on top.
    Step #1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Marinate the tenderloin with the spices and cooking fat.
    Raw pork tenderloins cut into 3's on a baking sheet with herbs.
    Step #2: Cut each tenderloin into thirds EXCEPT for the top, you will want the top to remain together so it is easy to grab and braid.

    Step #3: Now, braid the tenderloin on a baking sheet.
    Bone broth poured on a baking sheet with beef tenderloin and herbs.
    Step #4: Add to a baking sheet with bone broth and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. The length of the pork loin and the thickness of it will dictate how long it needs to cook. The best way to know if this dish is done is by checking the internal temperature of the meat with a meat thermometer. You can place a toothpick at the end to hold it together.

    Recipe Tips And Tricks

    • Tip #1: Always use a meat thermometer! It is the best way to ensure your meat is cooked properly all the way throughout.
    • Tip #2: If you want to prepare this recipe before hand, you can marinate the pork overnight. You can even braid it in a foil disposable pan or a casserole dish and keep it in your fridge until you are ready to bake it off. This is a great option if you are hosting!
