Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to make the glaze.
Step 2: Season 1 lb pork tenderloin with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and brush all over with half of the maple glaze.
Step 3: Roast pork in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove, brush with remaining glaze, and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 4: While pork roasts, in a large bowl combine 3 cups finely shredded green cabbage, 1 julienned medium tart apple, 1 grated medium carrot, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Step 5: Slice the rested pork tenderloin and serve alongside the fresh apple and cabbage slaw for a colorful and flavorful dish.
