It's a harmonious combination of savory pork, sweet and tangy apples, and aromatic onions, all roasted together on one pan.

Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 (1.25-1.5 lb) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch thick medallions
  • 2 apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), cored and cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chopped rosemary, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. Step 3

    On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the pork medallions, apple wedges, and red onion wedges in a single layer.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the olive oil mixture over everything on the baking sheet, tossing gently with your hands or tongs to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.

  5. Step 5

    Spread the ingredients back into a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring the pork pieces are not overlapping too much.

  6. Step 6

    Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the pork and vegetables halfway through, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the apples and onions are tender and lightly caramelized. The pork should still be slightly pink in the center for optimal juiciness.

  7. Step 7

    Remove from oven, let the pork rest for 5 minutes, then serve hot. Delicious!

Tips

  • Use different herbs like thyme or sage for a variation in flavor.
  • Add a handful of quartered Brussels sprouts or sweet potato chunks to the pan for more veggies.
  • Don't overcrowd the sheet pan; use two if necessary to ensure everything roasts, not steams.
