Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 small red potatoes, quartered
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
