Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Ginger Glaze

Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Ginger Glaze

This baked teriyaki pork tenderloin is jazzed up with one of my favorite easy marinades: ginger, garlic, soy sauce or Tamari, and maple syrup. After a quick roast in the oven, in under 20 minutes the pork comes out juicy with a sticky and slightly sweet crust - perfect for a weeknight meal or scaled up for a celebration! Serve it sliced over ramen or quinoa, with a side of steamed bok choy. The recipe is naturally dairy-free and gluten-free if you use tamari. To make it low FODMAP omit the garlic and use only green scallions.

Ingredients

  • organic maple syrup
    ¼ c
  • gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
    ¼ c
  • garlic cloves

    minced

    2 large
  • fresh ginger root

    minced

    2 inches
  • pork tenderloin
    1 lb
  • thinly sliced scallions

    for garnish

    2 tbsp

Directions

  1. 1

    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, tamari, garlic, and ginger until smooth. Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Add the pork and swish it around until coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Remove the pork from the marinade and set on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, until the pork is nicely browned on top. Allow to rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. 

  4. 4

    Slice the pork on the bias, drizzle with the reduced sauce, and serve immediately garnished with the scallions.

About this Recipe

Craving a flavorful, restaurant-quality main course without the fuss? This Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Ginger Glaze is your answer, delivering juicy, sticky-sweet perfection that’s ideal for a weeknight meal or an impressive celebration.

The secret to this incredible flavor lies in its simple yet potent maple-ginger marinade, combining fresh ginger, aromatic garlic, rich maple syrup, and savory soy sauce or Tamari. This blend deeply infuses the pork tenderloin, resulting in a perfectly juicy interior and a craveable sticky, slightly sweet crust after a quick bake.

Prepare for a culinary delight where each slice of pork tenderloin is incredibly tender and bursting with a harmonious blend of sweet maple and pungent ginger. The exterior develops a beautiful, caramelized glaze that's utterly irresistible. This naturally dairy-free dish is also gluten-free when prepared with Tamari, and it even offers a low FODMAP option, ensuring everyone can enjoy this flavorful main course.

This versatile recipe easily adapts to dietary needs. To make it low FODMAP, simply omit the garlic from the marinade and use only the green parts of scallions for garnish. For a gluten-free meal, be sure to use gluten-free Tamari instead of standard soy sauce, as regular soy sauce contains wheat.

This Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin is fantastic sliced and served over a bed of warm ramen noodles or fluffy quinoa, creating a complete and satisfying meal. Pair it with steamed bok choy for a vibrant, healthy side, making it suitable for both a quick dinner or an elegant dish for special occasions.
