Sheet Pan Roasted Garlic-Balsamic Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes and Carrots image

Provided by Christy Vega

Categories main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for greasing (or use nonstick cooking spray)
2 pounds pork tenderloins
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 whole head garlic, minced
1 onion, minced
1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
1 pound carrots, cut into 1/2-inch-thick sticks

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil. Grease the foil with oil or cooking spray.
Place the tenderloins in the center of the prepared pan and set aside.
Combine the 1/2 cup oil with the vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Reserve 2/3 cup of the marinade in a small saucepan. Stir the potatoes and carrots into the large bowl. Toss to combine.
Drizzle 1/3 cup of the reserved marinade over the pork, coating all the sides. Set the remaining 1/3 cup marinade aside to serve as a sauce. Scatter the potatoes and carrots evenly around the pork. Roast in the oven until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Let the pork rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
While the pork is resting, heat the remaining marinade in the small saucepan.
Slice the pork and drizzle with the warm marinade.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a variety of carrots, such as rainbow carrots, purple carrots, and baby carrots.
If you don't have fennel, you can substitute celery root or parsnips.
To make the pork more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, thyme, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes before roasting.
Roast the pork and vegetables at a high temperature to caramelize them and create a crispy crust.
Serve the pork and vegetables with a simple sauce, such as a Dijon mustard sauce or a honey-balsamic glaze.

Conclusion:

This roasted carrot and fennel pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the vegetables are roasted to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
