Biggest Loser Sweet and Spicy Pork Tenderloin

1 1/4lb pork tenderloin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp olive oil
2 TBSP honey
1 TBSP mince garlic
1 1/2 tsp hot sauce

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly mist small roasting pan or oven proof skillet with non-stick spray & set aside.

In a small bowl combine all the spices, mix well. Rub the pork evenly with the mix, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15min.

In a small bowl whisk together honey, garlic, and hot sauce.

Preheat skillet over medium/high heat and put a few drops of olive oil. Cook the tenderloin for about 1-2min per side or until browned all over. Transfer tenderloin to prepared pan and baste with the honey mixture all over with basting brush. Place a meat therm. in the middle of the loin and set to 160.
Roast loin in the oven 28-35min or until it reaches 160 and juices run clear. Remove from oven and cover loosely with foil for approx. 10min.

Makes 5 - 4oz servings

***I did not use the hot sauce due to the tastes of my family. It turned out great!
***I also used a 1.7lb tenderloin, it was all I could find at the store.
