Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Rub the herb mixture evenly over 1 lb pork tenderloin. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Toss 1 cup peeled cubed butternut squash, 1 cup halved Brussels sprouts, and 1 small red onion cut into wedges with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper; scatter around the pork.
  4. Step 4: Roast pork and vegetables for 25-30 minutes, turning vegetables halfway through, until pork registers 145°F internally and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing; serve with roasted vegetables alongside.
