SHEET PAN ROASTED GARLIC-BALSAMIC PORK TENDERLOIN WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil. Grease the foil with oil or cooking spray.
- Place the tenderloins in the center of the prepared pan and set aside.
- Combine the 1/2 cup oil with the vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Reserve 2/3 cup of the marinade in a small saucepan. Stir the potatoes and carrots into the large bowl. Toss to combine.
- Drizzle 1/3 cup of the reserved marinade over the pork, coating all the sides. Set the remaining 1/3 cup marinade aside to serve as a sauce. Scatter the potatoes and carrots evenly around the pork. Roast in the oven until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Let the pork rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
- While the pork is resting, heat the remaining marinade in the small saucepan.
- Slice the pork and drizzle with the warm marinade.
ROASTED POTATOES AND BABY CARROTS WITH GARLIC
I just purchase a small bag of baby carrots and use the whole bag for this, or use regular peeled carrots cut into about 2-inch chunks. Try to use a good quality olive oil for this. After you have been making this for a while you will know just how much to adjust your salt and garlic, the amounts listed are about the amounts I use when I make this, but all ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste, if you are a garlic-lover use lots of garlic, after cooking the garlic flavor will mellow and will not as strong, so don't be intimated by 8 cloves! This can be made hours in advance and just rewarmed. If you find that the baby carrots are done before the potatoes just remove them to a bowl. I make this very often, it is a simple side dish with lots of flavor, I roast all of my root veggies using the same method and ingredients, rutabagas, parsnips, beets, large chunky size carrots and even sweet potatoes or yams, just peel them and chop into 2-inch pieces (larger size for yams). This is a fantastic side dish, simple and delicious!

This is a wonderful one-dish meal that presents itself beautifully. It is fairly simple, and guaranteed to knock the socks off of the garlic-lovers in your crowd!!! I have also substituted various other veggies for the carrots (such as brussels sprouts, broccoli, or zucchini) and I get rave reviews every time!! My fave is the brussels sprouts, I know I'm weird!! Well, either way, this dish is simple enough to serve as a weeknight family meal, yet elegant enough to serve to guests. I just love it!!!

Steps:
- Steam the carrots until cooked through (I usually like them crisp in the center, but that will not work here).
- Mash the carrots with a fork or potato masher and add the roasted garlic.
- Add the stock and the thyme and mix well.
- Add your salt and pepper to taste.
- Simply multiply recipe for bulk/freezer cooking.
Tips:
- Select firm, young carrots: Choose carrots that are smooth, brightly colored, and free of blemishes. Avoid carrots with soft spots or cracks.
- Peel the carrots thinly: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the thin outer layer of the carrots. This will help the garlic and butter flavor penetrate the carrots more easily.
- Slice the carrots evenly: Cut the carrots into uniform slices so that they cook evenly. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a more pungent flavor than dried garlic. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the carrots in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly.
- Cook the carrots until tender: Cook the carrots until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the carrots mushy.
- Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
- Serve immediately: Garlic carrots are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as a side dish or as a snack.
Conclusion:
Garlic carrots are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With their sweet and savory flavor, garlic carrots are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
