Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts and 1 sliced medium apple with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until browned.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the skillet to the oven (or place pork on a baking dish if skillet is not oven-safe) and roast for 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove pork from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve sliced pork alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts and apple mixture.
