Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground allspice, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
Step 3: Toss 1 lb pork tenderloin slices with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then arrange them in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
Step 4: Brush the citrus-spice glaze generously over the pork slices.
Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning and glazing again halfway through, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the edges are caramelized.
