Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts and 1 large sliced apple with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until sprouts are crisp-tender and edges caramelize.
  2. Step 2: While roasting, heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Season 1 lb pork tenderloin medallions with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add medallions to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: Plate pork medallions alongside roasted Brussels sprouts and apple slices. Spoon any pan juices over pork and garnish with extra rosemary if desired.
