Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin.
  2. Step 2: Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  3. Step 3: While pork roasts, heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and cook without stirring for 5 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Stir Brussels sprouts, add remaining 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until sprouts are tender and garlic is fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Slice pork tenderloin and serve alongside garlic Brussels sprouts.
