How to Make Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the herb mixture.
- Rub the pork tenderloin with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and then coat it evenly with the herb mixture, pressing it onto the meat to adhere.
- In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Place the herb-crusted pork tenderloin on a baking sheet and arrange the seasoned potatoes around it.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with the roasted potatoes.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to let the pork tenderloin rest after cooking; this helps retain its juices.
- Use a meat thermometer to accurately check the pork’s doneness.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs like sage or oregano for a unique flavor twist.
Easy Variations
- Swap in sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor and added nutrition.
- Use a mustard glaze instead of herbs for a tangy twist.
- Add vegetables like carrots or Brussels sprouts to the roasting pan for a complete meal.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Steamed green beans or asparagus for a pop of color and crunch.
- A side of applesauce to complement the pork’s richness.
