Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 cup blackberries (fresh or frozen)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and thyme on all sides.
