• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups, peeled and sliced carrots

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Brush half over pork, then place on a baking sheet.
2. Step 2: Toss 2 cups sliced carrots, 2 cups sliced parsnips, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1 tbsp olive oil on the same sheet around the pork. Season vegetables with salt and pepper.
