Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or pure)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced fresh
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • Optional: baby potatoes or Brussels sprouts for a heartier mix
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard (if using) until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place it in the center of your roasting pan or sheet.
  4. Brush about half of the honey garlic sauce evenly over the pork, coating well. Reserve the remaining sauce for basting.
  5. Toss carrot sticks, red bell pepper slices, zucchini half-moons, and red onion wedges with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the vegetables around the pork in a single layer.
  6. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through cooking.
  7. At the 15-minute mark, baste the pork with the reserved honey garlic sauce to build layers of flavor and a sticky glaze.
  8. Check the pork’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 145°F (63°C) for perfect doneness.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice the pork into medallions and serve alongside the roasted vegetables. Spoon any extra pan juices or remaining sauce over the top.

Notes

Rest the pork after roasting to keep it juicy. Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor. Turn vegetables halfway through roasting for even caramelization. If vegetables brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes. Sauce can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the fridge. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free version. Adjust vegetables seasonally or for low-carb diets.
