Oven-Baked Pork Bites with Honey Garlic Glaze

Ingredients

- 1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Pork:
In a large bowl, combine the pork cubes with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat.

3. Create the Marinade:
In a separate medium bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir until well combined.

4. Marinate the Pork:
Pour the marinade over the prepared pork cubes, ensuring they are all thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

5. Arrange the Pork on a Baking Sheet:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray. Arrange the marinated pork cubes in a single layer on the sheet.

6. Bake the Pork:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and golden brown.

7. Prepare the Glaze:
While the pork is baking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until it slightly thickens, about 5 minutes.

8. Glaze the Baked Pork:
Once the pork bites are baked, remove them from the oven. Brush the thickened glaze over the pork cubes, making sure each piece is generously coated.

9. Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the glazed pork bites. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm and enjoy your gourmet oven-baked pork snack!
