Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil divided
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 3 Tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1½ Tbsp whole-grain mustard
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 1½ Pound(s) boneless pork tenderloin roast
- 1 large red beet peeled and sliced
- 1 12- oz. bag tri-color carrots
- 1 red onion sliced
- 2 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves + additional sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the oven rack in the center of the oven. Add parchment paper to a baking sheet.
- Whisk 1 T of the olive oil with the orange zest, orange juice, honey, and mustard. Add the salt and pepper and stir.
- Rub the orange glaze all over the pork loin, coating it on all sides. Place the meat in the middle of the sheet pan and set it aside.
- Toss the carrots, beets, and onion with the rest of the oil ad thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the veggies around the pork in a layer and avoid overcrowding.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the pork reaches just above 140 degrees and the vegetables are fork-tender. (145 degrees is the recommended temperature for safe cooking for pork, and the internal temperature will rise a few degrees as it rests)
- Take the pan out of the oven and closely cover with aluminum foil. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes.
