Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil.
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
- Wrap bacon slices around the tenderloin, securing with toothpicks if needed.

- Transfer to the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Let rest a few minutes before slicing.

Keto & Low-Carb Options
For a keto or low-carb version, substitute brown sugar with erythritol or stevia, and use turkey bacon.
Tips for Perfection
