Key Ingredients
I love cooking up seasonal veggie medleys, and these beautiful light and dark shaded carrots caught my eye in the market. Parsnips and brussels also made their way into the basket along with household staples, onion and potatoes.
I realize potatoes don't technically fall in the root vegetable category (they're stem veggies), but we love our spuds around here so they were definitely making it onto the pan. And they practically match the carrots! It's the little things... Lol.
How to Prep the Pork
Instead of hitting the pork with just s&p I'm a huge fan of having spice rubs on hand. This one also includes paprika, brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, and cinnamon. You can kick things up a notch with a pinch of cayenne if you're okay with a bit of heat. The balsamic-honey glaze is on the sweeter side so there's definitely room for some spice.
Spice blends will keep for months when stored in an airtight container. This one would also be great on chicken, steak and denser fish.
How to Cook this Sheet Pan Dinner
Once the pork is rubbed down and the veggies are glazed, I save a little to go over the tenderloins as well. The beauty of this recipe is all can be prepped in advance, making crunch time after work or entertaining on the fly stress free.
This vibrant tray needs just 30 minutes max in the oven, and you'll have an incredibly delicious dinner for you and your gang. Enjoy!

Made this last night with potatoes, red onion and later green beans. It was EXCELLENT. !!
I did find I needed to add some liquid and tent it later in the baking process because my potatoes were not getting properly cooked. Thank you for a great dry rub.
