- 1 lb, quartered red potatoes
- 1 large, sliced into 1/2-inch strips red bell pepper
- 1 large, sliced into 1/2-inch strips yellow bell pepper
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped for garnish fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 1 lb quartered red potatoes and sliced red and yellow bell peppers (1 large each) with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 2 minced garlic cloves, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
- Step 2: Spread the potatoes and peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, in the same bowl, toss 1 lb pork tenderloin cut into 1-inch medallions with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 4: After the vegetables have roasted 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and push vegetables to the sides. Arrange the pork medallions in the center and return to the oven. Roast for another 15-18 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and potatoes are tender.
- Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the dish. Let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
