Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim excess fat from 1.5 lb pork tenderloin and season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried rosemary. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, and 4 minced garlic cloves.
  2. Step 2: Slice 2 medium zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet with 1 cup cherry tomatoes. Roast for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Place pork tenderloin on the baking sheet with vegetables. Brush with half the balsamic glaze. Roast for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F, basting occasionally with remaining glaze. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted vegetables and extra glaze drizzled on top.
