In my house, chicken is usually the go-to weeknight protein. While there’s no denying that chicken is easy and versatile, don’t forget about your other options. Pork (the other white meat as some of your may know it) is another option if you are looking to incorporate lean protein into your weeknight dinners.
We can’t get enough of sheet pan suppers and it just so happens that pork tenderloin is the perfect cut to incorporate into these no-fail, one-pan meals.
To make this glazed pork tenderloin sheet pan supper, sprinkle the pork tenderloin with steak seasoning. Toss carrots, parsnips, and onion in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and arrange the vegetables around the pork on a sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees.
After 20 minutes, cover the pork with a mixture of apricot jam and balsamic vinegar then return it to the oven for about 10 more minutes until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are beautifully roasted and tender.
Slice the pork tenderloin and serve with a little more of the tangy, sweet sauce on top alongside the colorful, roasted vegetables. In just about 30 minutes you can put a balanced meal on the table. Don’t let pork play second fiddle and incorporate this sheet pan supper into your weekly meal planning regiment.
