Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
• 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
• 1 cup carrots, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
3. Rub the pork tenderloin with half of the glaze and set aside the remaining glaze for later.
4. On a large baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Place the glazed pork tenderloin in the center of the baking sheet with the vegetables around it.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
7. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining glaze over the pork tenderloin.
8. Once cooked, let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted vegetables, garnished with fresh thyme.

Notes

Tip: For a smoky flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.

For best results, marinate the pork tenderloin for at least an hour or overnight to allow the flavors to deepen. If you prefer, you can substitute honey for maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.

To make this dish gluten-free, ensure that your Dijon mustard is gluten-free. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave, adding a splash of broth to keep the meat moist.
