Chef's Note
For extra tender pork, brine it for 2-4 hours before cooking by soaking in a solution of 1/4 cup salt and 4 cups water. This simple step helps retain moisture during cooking, making your tenderloin even juicier!

Ingredients
1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon rosemary
3 medium carrots
2 medium parsnips
1 large sweet potatoes
1 medium red onion
1 teaspoon thyme
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 4
While the pork is searing, in a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary to create the glaze.
- 5
Brush half of the honey glaze over the seared pork tenderloin. Set aside the remaining glaze for later.
- 6
In a large bowl, toss the 3 cut carrots, 2 cut parsnips, 1 cubed sweet potato, and 1 red onion cut into wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme until evenly coated.
- 7
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space in the center for the pork tenderloin.
- 8
Transfer the seared pork tenderloin to the center of the baking sheet with the vegetables.
- 9
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then brush the pork with the remaining honey glaze.
- 10
Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
- 11
Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 12
Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the roasted vegetables.
