Instructions
 

  • Directions For Roasted Pork Loin with Pears:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Season the Pork: Season the pork tenderloin with salt, pepper, and beer can chicken seasoning (if using). Place the pork in the prepared baking pan.
  • Prepare the Veggies: Add the pears, yams, red potato, and onion to the pan around the pork.
  • Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  • Toss to Coat: Pour the marinade over the pork and veggies. Toss everything to ensure the pears, potatoes, and onion are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  • Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional fresh thyme.
  • Roasting Asparagus
  • Roast the Asparagus: While the pork is resting, increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Arrange the asparagus on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, Mediterranean seasoning, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Finish by sprinkling Parmesan cheese over the top. Roast for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
