Chef's Note
For the most flavorful results, marinate the pork overnight. The key to perfectly cooked pork tenderloin is to not overcook it - use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches exactly 145°F, then let it rest to redistribute the juices. If you prefer a deeper balsamic flavor, you can reduce 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar with 1 tablespoon of honey until syrupy, then drizzle over the finished dish.

Instructions
- 1
In a food processor, combine 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Place the 2 pounds of pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4-6 hours.
- 3
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 4
Cut the 2 red bell peppers, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 2 red onions into 1-inch chunks. Slice the 2 zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons. Cut the 3 carrots into 1/2-inch diagonal slices. Trim and halve the 12 ounces of Brussels sprouts.

In a large bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- 6
Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they're not overcrowded. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

While the vegetables are roasting, remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- 8
Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 9
Transfer the skillet with the pork to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- 10
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board, tented with foil, for 10 minutes.
- 11
Stir the vegetables and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes while the pork rests, until they are caramelized and tender.
- 12
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2-inch medallions.
- 13
Toss the roasted vegetables with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- 14
Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the balsamic roasted vegetables.

One less onion was needed. Pork needs that extra balsamic and maple reduction. Shouldn't be a suggestion but part of the recipe.
