Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp honey, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the glaze.
Step 2: Trim 1 lb pork tenderloin and pat dry. Brush half of the citrus-honey glaze all over the pork. Place the pork in the center of a rimmed baking sheet.
Step 3: Peel and slice 2 medium ripe plantains into 1/2-inch diagonal pieces. Toss them with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange plantains around the pork on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Roast everything for 25 minutes, then brush the pork and plantains with the remaining glaze. Continue roasting for 10-15 minutes more until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the plantains are golden and caramelized.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let pork rest for 5 minutes. Slice pork and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
