Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground allspice until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry the 1.5 lb pork tenderloin and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Brush half of the maple-spice glaze over the pork tenderloin. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, toss 3 medium carrots, 2 medium parsnips, and 4 quartered small red potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a large bowl.
  5. Step 5: After 20 minutes, remove the pork from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze. Add the prepared vegetables to the baking sheet around the pork and roast everything together for an additional 25-30 minutes, turning vegetables once halfway, until pork reaches 145°F and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Let the pork rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted root vegetables for a sweet and savory harvest-inspired dish.
