Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tsp chili flakes, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 3 minced garlic cloves to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Rub 1 lb pork tenderloin with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and half of the fresh thyme. Place on a roasting pan.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 chopped carrots, 2 chopped parsnips, and 1 small red onion cut into wedges with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and remaining thyme. Spread around the pork on the roasting pan.
  4. Step 4: Roast everything for 20 minutes, then brush the pork tenderloin generously with half of the honey chili glaze. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and vegetables are tender.
  5. Step 5: Remove pork and vegetables from oven. Brush pork with remaining glaze and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the roasted vegetables.
