Ingredients
- 2 pork tenderloins
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cup chopped vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, and zucchini)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, and black pepper. This flavorful marinade will be the foundation for your dish.
2. Marinate the Pork: Coat the pork tenderloins with the prepared marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Roast the Pork and Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the marinated pork tenderloins and the chopped vegetables (carrots, potatoes, zucchini) on a large baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top.
4. Bake to Perfection: Roast the pork and vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. The vegetables should be tender and caramelized.
5. Rest and Serve: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful result. Slice the pork and serve it alongside the roasted vegetables, garnished with any desired seasonings.
