Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½-2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teapsoons garlic
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 ½ - 2 pounds baby red and/or gold potatoes (halved)
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Italian blend herbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a sheet pan. Line one half of the sheet pan with foil, folding up the sides about 2 inches from the edge to make a "tray" (to prevent pork juices from spilling out). Place tenderloin in the center of the foil tray. 
  • Pat tenderloin dry with a paper towel. Whisk together brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Pour over pork tenderloin, then turn the tenderloin over a couple of times to make sure all sides are coated. 
  • Arrange potatoes on the other half of the sheet pan (non-foil half). Drizzle with oil, toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste, Italian herbs, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. 
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, using tongs to turn the pork over in the sauces every 5-10 minutes. *I like to switch the oven to BROIL for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the pork and potatoes - but watch carefully so it doesn't burn! Allow pork to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch sections and serving.
