Ingredients

2 lbs pork tenderloin, silverskin removed
8 medium carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise
4 tbsp olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tbsp raw honey
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
4 fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil.
2

Mix 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, half the 4 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl to form a rub. Coat the 2 lbs silverskin removed pork tenderloin all over.
3

Toss 8 peeled, halved lengthwise medium carrots with the remaining olive oil, 2 tbsp raw honey, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle 4 fresh thyme sprigs among the carrots.
4

Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear pork tenderloin on all sides, about 2 minutes per side, until deeply browned.
5

Transfer pork tenderloin to the baking sheet with the carrots. Roast 18-22 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and carrots are tender and caramelized.
6

Remove from oven and rest pork tenderloin on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.
7

Slice pork tenderloin and serve with the roasted carrots, drizzling any pan juices over the top.
