Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup whiskey, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 3 minced garlic cloves until smooth and syrupy.
2. Step 2: Place 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin on a large sheet pan; brush half of the whiskey glaze over the pork, reserving the rest. Toss 3 peeled and chunked carrots and 1 pound halved baby potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, and spread around the pork on the sheet pan.
3. Step 3: Roast pork and vegetables for 20 minutes, then brush the pork again with the reserved whiskey glaze. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and vegetables are tender and golden.
4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve pork slices alongside roasted carrots and potatoes, drizzled with any pan juices.
