Ingredients
- 1 1 - 1.25 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large cloves garlic sliced into slivers
- 1 2x1 inch strip lemon peel, cut into thin strips
- 1 tsp dried rosemary crushed
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 lb baby red potatoes quartered
- 1 ½ tsp dried basil crushed
- ½ tsp seasoned salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 13x9 inch baking sheet with foil.

Notes
- Don't Overcook: Pork is best at 145°F (medium rare) to 150°F (medium) for maximum juiciness.
- Fresh Herbs: Use 1 tbsp fresh rosemary and 1 ½ tbsp fresh basil in place of dried.
- Easy Cleanup: The foil lined pan makes washing up a breeze.
