Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3 cups carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the glaze.
- Step 2: Place 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin on a rimmed baking sheet and brush all over with half of the maple glaze. Toss 3 cups peeled carrots, 2 cups peeled parsnips, and 1 medium red onion wedges with 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Arrange the vegetables around the pork tenderloin on the baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, then brush the pork with the remaining maple glaze and roast for another 10-15 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and vegetables are tender.
- Step 4: Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted root vegetables on the side.
