Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or roasting pan.
2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps create a beautiful golden crust.
3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
4. Rub the herb mixture generously all over the pork tenderloin, making sure every side is coated.
5. In a large bowl, toss potatoes, carrots, and onions with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Spread the vegetables evenly around the pork in the baking dish.
7. Place the pork tenderloin in the center of the vegetables.
8. Roast uncovered for 35–45 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
9. Halfway through cooking, gently stir the vegetables so they roast evenly.
10. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This keeps the meat juicy and tender.
11. Slice the pork into medallions and serve with the roasted vegetables.
12. Garnish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of pan juices before serving.

Tips, Notes & Q/A

• Always allow pork tenderloin to rest after cooking because this helps redistribute the juices.
• Do not overcook pork; using a meat thermometer gives the best results.
• For extra flavor, marinate the pork with the herb mixture for 2–4 hours before roasting.
• Cut vegetables into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
• Baby potatoes work best because they become crispy outside while staying creamy inside.
• Add a splash of chicken broth or white wine to the pan for extra moisture and flavor.
• Fresh herbs create the best flavor, but dried herbs can be used when needed.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Reheat gently to prevent the pork from drying out.
