Smoked Paprika Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans

Ingredients & Substitutes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to create the spice rub.

3. 3

   Pat dry 1.5 pounds of pork tenderloin with paper towels, then rub the entire surface of the tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the prepared spice rub, ensuring it's evenly coated.

4. 4

   On the prepared baking sheet, toss 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes, and 1 pound of trimmed green beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until thoroughly coated.

5. 5

   Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the center of the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes and green beans arranged around it, ensuring everything is in a single layer for even roasting.

6. 6

   Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping the vegetables halfway through.

7. 7

   Remove the baking sheet from the oven, transfer the pork tenderloin to a cutting board, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1-inch medallions.

8. 8

   Serve the sliced pork tenderloin immediately alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and green beans.
