Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.

3. 3

   Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil and coat it evenly with the spice mixture.

   Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork tenderloin for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

   Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

   While the pork is cooking, prepare the apple chutney. In a medium saucepan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.

   Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
