Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs, trimmed pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp, chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 12 oz baby carrots
- 1 lb, halved baby potatoes
- 1 medium, cut into wedges red onion
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary to make the glaze.
- Step 2: Season 1.5 lbs trimmed pork tenderloin with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides, about 2 minutes per side, until browned.
- Step 3: Brush half of the maple glaze over the seared pork tenderloin. Arrange 12 oz baby carrots, 1 lb halved baby potatoes, and 1 medium cut red onion wedges around the pork in the skillet. Drizzle vegetables with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Step 4: Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove skillet, brush remaining maple glaze over pork, then return skillet to oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and vegetables are tender.
- Step 5: Let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve pork slices alongside roasted vegetables, spooning any pan juices over the top.
