Ingredients:
- 2 new potatoes, halved
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC), ensuring it’s thoroughly preheated to achieve that perfect roast.
-
Prepare the Roasting Pan: Lightly coat a shallow roasting pan with a non-stick cooking spray, such as Pam, to prevent the pork and vegetables from sticking.
-
Season the Pork: Place the pork tenderloin in the center of the prepared roasting pan. For best results, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the pork to monitor its cooking progress.
-
Arrange the Vegetables: Surround the pork with the halved new potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic. These vegetables will roast alongside the pork, soaking up all the flavorful juices.
-
Add Oils and Seasonings: Drizzle the olive oil and canola oil over the pork and vegetables. Sprinkle the dried rosemary, dried sage, salt, and black pepper evenly across the ingredients. This combination of herbs and spices will infuse the dish with a delightful aroma and taste.
-
Roast the Pork and Vegetables: Place the pan in the oven and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. The pork is done when the meat thermometer reads 155ยฐF (68ยฐC). At this point, the pork should be nicely browned on the outside.
-
Finish Roasting the Vegetables: Once the pork has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the pan and set it aside on a plate, loosely covered with foil. Stir the vegetables in the pan to ensure they cook evenly. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and golden.
-
Rest the Pork: After removing the vegetables from the oven, cover the pork tenderloin and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting period allows the internal temperature to rise to 160ยฐF (71ยฐC), ensuring the pork is cooked to perfection with a slight pink center.
-
Serve: Slice the pork tenderloin and serve it alongside the roasted vegetables and garlic. The flavors will be beautifully balanced, and the tender pork will complement the savory, herb-infused vegetables.
