Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1.5 cups carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, and 3 minced garlic cloves until smooth and fragrant.
- Step 2: Place 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin on a large rimmed baking sheet. Brush the mustard glaze evenly over the pork, coating all sides.

- Step 4: Spread the vegetables around the pork on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning vegetables halfway, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
