Ingredients

For the Pork Tenderloin

• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon

For the Vegetables

• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 2 cups green beans, trimmed
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium red onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a paste.

🥄 Make sure to coat the pork thoroughly so each bite is infused with that lovely garlic-herb flavor.

• Rub the herb mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring an even coat.

• In a large oven-safe dish, arrange the halved baby potatoes, green beans, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

• Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the center of the vegetable medley.

• Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The veggies should be tender and slightly caramelized.

• Allow the pork to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve the tenderloin alongside the roasted vegetables.

🧊 Allowing the pork to rest is crucial. It helps the juices redistribute, making for a moister and more flavorful piece of meat.

Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes to the herb mixture for an extra layer of heat. 🌶️
• Sweet and Savory: Incorporate some honey or maple syrup into the garlic-herb paste for a touch of sweetness.
• Vegetarian Option: Substitute the pork with a large portobello mushroom for a hearty and flavorful meal.
• Herb Swap: Use any fresh herbs you have on hand, such as parsley, oregano, or basil, to customize this dish to your taste.

Enjoy the delightful combination of tender pork and roasted veggies, all in one dish! It’s the perfect recipe for a stress-free and delicious dinner. 🍽️✨
