Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 peeled and chopped carrots and 2 peeled and chopped parsnips with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp fresh thyme. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
- Step 2: Roast the vegetables for 25-30 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, whisk together 1/3 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 3 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl to create the glaze.
- Step 4: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season 1 lb pork tenderloin with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sear pork on all sides for 3-4 minutes until browned.
- Step 5: Pour half the citrus glaze over the pork, then transfer skillet to the oven. Roast pork for 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F, basting with remaining glaze halfway through.
