Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to form a herb paste.
  2. Step 2: Rub the 1.5 lbs trimmed pork tenderloin evenly with the herb paste. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reads 145°F. Remove and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  3. Step 3: While pork roasts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 large head cauliflower florets (about 2 lbs) and cook for 10-12 minutes until very tender. Drain well.
  4. Step 4: Transfer cauliflower to a food processor or blender. Add 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp nutritional yeast if using. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Serve sliced pork tenderloin atop cauliflower mash.
