A delicious and easy-to-make pork tenderloin with a crispy herb crust paired with sweet, sticky maple-glazed Brussels sprouts. Perfect for weeknight dinners or dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 to 1.5 pounds / 450–680 grams), trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound (450 grams) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (use dairy-free butter if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (Grade A Amber preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts; set aside.
  3. Mix rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Rub pork tenderloin with olive oil and press herb mixture onto all sides.
  5. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer skillet to oven and roast pork for 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. While pork roasts, melt butter in a pan over medium heat.
  8. Add Brussels sprouts and sauté until tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  9. Add maple syrup to Brussels sprouts and cook until glaze is reduced and coats the sprouts, about 2-3 minutes.
  10. Remove pork from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  11. Serve sliced pork tenderloin with maple-glazed Brussels sprouts.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 145°F. Letting the pork rest before slicing helps retain juices. Use Grade A Amber maple syrup for balanced sweetness. Dairy-free butter can be substituted if needed.
