Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Vegetables
By Christian Fox
Here’s a great, simple, way to enjoy either of the two sauces from the last recipe installment. If you have the sauces on hand (you do, right?) then most of the prep time, which is minimal, is spent chopping the vegetables. The vegetables are easily interchangeable with others you have on hand or like better. Zucchini, cauliflower, parsnip, or bell pepper would all work well. The denser the vegetable the smaller you’d chop it so they all finish at the same time.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
You’ll need:
2 1¼ – 2 lb Pork Tenderloins (these often come wrapped two in a pack)
3-5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 large Onion, chopped or sliced into bite sized pieces
1 large Carrot, peeled and ¼ inch slice on the bias
1 head of Broccoli, chopped into bite sized pieces
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Thyme
2 tsp Black Pepper
3 tsp Salt
2 tsp Oregano
2 tsp Cumin
¼ – ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper (or dried chipotle), optional
In a large mixing bowl, toss the onion, carrot, and broccoli with 2 Tbsp olive oil, thyme, and 1 tsp salt to coat the vegetables in oil and seasoning. Spread the vegetables into one layer on a large sheet pan. Put the pork tenderloin in the mixing bowl with the remaining olive oil and salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, garlic, and chile if using, and toss to coat. Place pork on top of vegetables on the sheet pan and roast at 425 degrees in pre-heated oven until a thermometer reads 150 degrees on the pork, probably 15-20 minutes. Remove the pork to cool before slicing and let the vegetables roast for another 10 minutes so they become a bit crispy (and infinitely more yummy). Serve the pork sliced over the vegetables and top with either the marinara or the aji’.
Cook! Enjoy!
