Carrageenan Free Honey & Apple Cider Glazed Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is one of those cuts that looks impressive on the plate but is genuinely approachable in the kitchen, and this honey and apple cider version delivers serious flavor with a clean, short ingredient list. The spice rub — turmeric, ginger, garlic powder, and sea salt — builds a warm, golden crust during the sear before the oven does the rest of the work. What makes the glaze so satisfying is how the raw honey and apple cider vinegar balance each other: sweet, tangy, and just a little sharp, thickened naturally with arrowroot starch instead of any processed thickener. That matters because carrageenan hides in a surprising number of store-bought sauces, marinades, and even some coconut-based products — making homemade glazes like this one the safest and most delicious route. Coconut aminos bring a savory depth that rounds everything out without any of the additives you'd find in conventional soy sauces or bottled teriyaki. The two-bowl glaze method — one for roasting, one reserved for finishing — means every slice gets a bright, glossy hit of flavor right before serving. Scatter on fresh thyme and you've got a dinner that looks like it came from a restaurant, made entirely from ingredients you can trust.
