Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin
Sheet Pan Pork TenderloinI cook quite a bit of pork, but I have to say this is one of the best pork dishes I have ever served or tasted. There were absolutely no leftovers.
What I love about sheet pan dinners is that it’s all made on one pan, no extra pots and or side dishes. And there was nothing dry about this roast.
Depending on how large you cut your vegetables, I would advise cooking the pork first for about 20 minutes and then add the veggies for the remainder of the cooking time.
It’s probably a good idea to cover the pork with a sheet of foil for the 20 minutes as this helps to keep the roast from drying out and from shrinking. Keep in mind also that it should take about 25 minutes per pound to cook.
For this recipe a pork roast, pork loin or tenderloin will work. I chose a “lombo di maiale” which in english means tender loin.
How to make a Sheet Pan Pork Roast
- In a small bowl mix together oil, oregano, salt, pepper, minced garlic and chopped fresh rosemary.
- Drizzle the cookie sheet with a little olive oil.
- Place the pork tenderloin / roast on top, make a few slits with a sharp knife and place in a piece of garlic.
- Brush the tenderloin with the oil and spice mix.
- In a large bowl toss large cubed potatoes, carrots, onions or whatever vegetables you prefer with oregano, olive oil, salt and rosemary.
- If you cut your vegetables large (halved or quartered if they are large) then you can place them around the pork roast and bake for about an hour.
- If you want bite size or a bit larger cuts of vegetables then it is best to cover the roast with foil and bake it alone for about 20 minutes before adding the vegetables.
- Let the roast sit for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
What are the best vegetables to use?
Pork is the type of meat that pairs well with sweet flavours, such as root vegetables, I like to add some carrots, turnips, parsnips potatoes, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and onions.
How do you know when pork is cooked?
The National Pork Board recommends that you should be cooking the pork until the internal temperature is between 145° F and 160° F. But since the temperature of large cuts will increase by approximately 10° F. while resting, it is probably best to remove the meat when the temperature reaches 145F – 150F then let rest for 10 minutes.
Why let meat rest before slicing?
When the meat has cooked the juices are at the centre of the meat, allowing the meat to rest lets the juices redistribute throughout the meat which leaves a tender juicier cut. So be sure to let the roast rest for at least 10 minutes.
