Variations & Tips
For a bit of spice, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the maple-Dijon mixture. If you prefer a smokier flavor, try adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika. You can also substitute chicken breasts for the pork tenderloin if you prefer poultry. For a more robust flavor, marinate the pork in the maple-Dijon mixture for a few hours before cooking.
