Ingredients

How to Make Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it’s well coated. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers and red onion with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating a space in the center for the pork.
- Place the marinated pork tenderloin in the center of the baking sheet among the vegetables.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced pork on a bed of roasted vegetables, garnished with fresh basil.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your pork is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; this ensures juicy, perfectly cooked pork.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet with vegetables; this will help them roast evenly and develop a nice caramelization.
Easy Variations
- Swap the bell peppers for zucchini or asparagus for a different veggie profile.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Use a different marinade, such as a honey mustard glaze, for a sweet twist.
What to Serve With It
- A light arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette.
- Creamy mashed potatoes or a fluffy quinoa side.
- Crusty bread to soak up any leftover sauce.
