Over the years I have slowly started to enjoy pork as a dinner option. It’s not a protein we had much growing up, so it’s still limited for dinner. On it’s own, I’m not a huge fan but prepared with the right combination of spices and a great side and a salad – it it a great meal for any night of the week. This recipe is easy to make, and one that your whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. pounds Pork Loin
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Carrot Side Ingredients:
- 1 lb Tri-color Baby Carrots
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
- 2 tbsp fresh Thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Place the pork loin in the center of the lined baking sheet and set aside.
- In a small glass or other non-reactive bowl, combine the Dijon and whole-grain mustard with the olive oil. Massage the pork loin with the mustard mixture, then sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place the baby carrots in a large bowl and add the garlic, balsamic vinegar, coconut oil, and fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
- Spread the carrots in a single layer around the seasoned pork tenderloin on the baking sheet and pour any remaining juices from the bowl on top.
- Cook for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the pork. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 145° for medium-rare and the carrots are nicely caramelized.
- Remove from oven and let pork loin rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with roasted baby carrots. Enjoy!
