Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 lb. pork tenderloin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 3 tbsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- pinch nutmeg
- pinch cinnamon
- 1/8 cup parsley
Vegetables
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes (you can also buy pre-cut potatoes)
- 1/2 cup red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups broccoli, cut in half
- 1 cup carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Start with making a dry rub by combining salt, smoked paprika, chili powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and parsley. Mix well and rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
- Heat oil in a large skillet on med high and sear the meat, about 5 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat and set pork (fat side UP) on a baking rack that has a baking underneath to catch any drippings.
- Stir together the soy sauce, honey, garlic and olive oil. Reserve two tablespoons of the sauce for the veggies and brush the rest of the sauce over the pork.
- Roast for 20 minutes at 375˚F.
- In the meantime, prepare the vegetables by cutting the sweet potatoes, carrots, peppers, onion and broccoli.
- In a medium bowl, mix the vegetables with reserved sauce.
- At this time, take the pork out of the oven; add veggies all around it in one layer, tent pork with foil, then continue to cook for 30 minutes, or until internal temperature of the pork tenderloin reaches 145˚F. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the roast. Some ovens may need a few more minutes.
- Stir the vegetables half-way through cooking, remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes before cutting. This helps lock in the juices.
- Plate the vegetables first and serve, then spoon over drippings over the tenderloin.
