Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Move an oven rack to the lower third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Brush a large, shallow baking pan with oil.
Step 2
Pulse crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a wide, shallow bowl and stir in pepper.
Step 3
Toss tenders with mustard in a large bowl until coated. Dredge, 2 at a time, in cracker crumbs until evenly coated. Arrange in a single layer, without crowding, in the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
