Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

- 3 tbsp, divided olive oil
- 1 lb, trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts
- 1 1/2 tsp, divided salt
- 1 tsp, divided black pepper
- 1 tsp, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary to form the glaze.
- Step 2: Pat dry 1 lb pork tenderloin and season all over with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides for 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Step 3: Brush half of the maple-Dijon glaze over the pork tenderloin. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 15 minutes.
- Step 4: While pork roasts, toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Spread on a baking sheet.
- Step 5: After 15 minutes, place Brussels sprouts on a rack in the oven and roast both pork and sprouts for an additional 15 minutes until pork reaches 145°F internal temperature and sprouts are tender and caramelized.
- Step 6: Remove pork from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve alongside roasted Brussels sprouts.
