Steps

1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a small sheet pan or baking dish with parchment paper.
2
Pat the pork dry and rub it all over with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
3
In a small bowl, stir together the dijon, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and garlic.
4
Set the pork on the prepared pan and brush half the glaze over the top and sides.
5
Roast for 18 to 22 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through, until the center reaches 145°F.
6
Rest the pork for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
7
Scatter parsley over the sliced pork if using and serve warm.

Make it fancy

Optional moves for when you want to impress.

Serve it with roasted apples or sweet potatoes if you want the maple note to lean a little cozier.
Stir a spoonful of whole grain mustard into the glaze for more texture and bite.
Save the resting juices and spoon them over the sliced pork right before serving.
Slice it thin for sandwiches the next day with arugula and sharp cheddar.
