Why This Recipe Stands Out

We’re all about easy, delicious, and healthy meals, and this sheet pan pork tenderloin ticks all the boxes. It’s a one-pan wonder that’s perfect for busy weeknights or recipes for special occasions. Here’s why we can’t get enough of this recipe:

  • Simple: This recipe uses simple, fresh ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
  • Convenient: Like my sheet pan chicken and potatoes, this is a one-pan meal, meaning less cleanup and stress with more time to enjoy your meal.
  • Versatile: This recipe is perfect for a casual family dinner or a special occasion.
  • Flavorful: The combination of balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and rosemary gives the pork a rich, savory taste that’s hard to resist, much like our Grilled Pork Chops.
  • Healthy: Packed with lean protein from the pork and nutrients from the baby potatoes and carrots, it is a balanced meal in one pan.
  • Time-Saver: No need to marinate the pork beforehand; it goes straight into the oven, saving you time.
  • Perfectly Cooked: The recipe guarantees that the pork and vegetables finish cooking at the same time, so everything is perfectly cooked and ready to serve.
  • Customizable: You can easily swap out the vegetables by taking some inspiration from our Easy Roasted Vegetables recipe or add your favorite herbs and spices to make this recipe your own.

Key Recipe Ingredients

Sheet pan pork tenderloin marinade being poured on top before roasting.
  • Boneless Pork Tenderloins – We use about two pounds of this tender and succulent meat. It is the star of our dish and cooks up beautifully in the oven.
  • Balsamic Vinegar – This is one of the main ingredients in our marinage. Balsamic vinegar quality and flavor varies widely between brands; we recommend using a high-quality balsamic vinegar that’s rich, thick, sweet, and fruity – it balances out the acidity.
  • Pure Honey – Just a touch of honey enhances the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar and balances the savory flavors in this dish.
  • Fresh Rosemary Leaves – Minced and added to the marinade, the rosemary leaves lend a fragrant, earthy note to the pork tenderloin.
  • Baby Potatoes and Baby Carrots – These veggies are roughly diced and cooked alongside the pork tenderloin. They absorb the flavors of the marinade and become beautifully browned in the oven.

Substitutions And Variations

This sheet pan roast pork tenderloin with potatoes is a flavor-packed, easy-to-make dish that’s perfect for any occasion. But don’t feel confined to the recipe. Let’s explore some fun substitutions and variations to spice things up:

  • The Meat: Try using chicken breasts or even turkey tenderloins, keeping in mind that cooking times may vary.
  • Marinade-Rub: Try adding a touch of mustard, apple cider vinegar, or even a splash of your favorite whiskey for an unexpected twist.
  • Herbs and Spices: Feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme, sage, or oregano. A little smoked paprika or cayenne pepper could also add an exciting kick like it does it our popular Chicken Shawarma recipe.
  • Different kinds of Vegetables: How about sweet potatoes or parsnips for a change? Or add some bell peppers and zucchini for a splash of color.
  • Different Sweetener: Substitute honey with brown sugar or maple syrup like our Saucy Apple Pork Chops.

Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions

  1. Line a large baking pan with foil, grease it generously, and place the pat-dried pork tenderloins in the center. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. 
  1. Set aside a third of the marinade in a separate bowl. Toss potatoes and carrots in the remaining marinade until well coated. 
  2. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the pork tenderloins and make sure that all sides are covered. Arrange the marinated potatoes and carrots around the pork.
  1. Roast the pork and vegetables at a temperature of 350F for about 45-50 minutes or until the pork’s internal temperature reaches 145F. Use a wired meat thermometer to monitor the temperature without disturbing the roast.
  2. Allow the roast to rest at room temperature for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing. Then slice the pork and drizzle any remaining pan sauces over it.

How To Prep Ahead

This sheet pan pork tenderloin is easy to make, but we have some additional tips to make it even simpler. Take a look at our favorite prep-ahead strategies for this recipe:

  • Marinade: You can prepare the marinade for the pork tenderloin in advance. Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, rosemary, salt, and pepper, and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to cook, just take it out and let it come to room temperature before using.
  • Prep the Vegetables: Feel free to chop up the baby potatoes and baby carrots ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. When you’re ready to cook, toss them in the marinade and they’re ready to go.
  • Freeze: You can even freeze the cooked pork in the freezer in an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to one month. Simply allow it to thaw and served with freshly roasted vegetables.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is the ideal internal temperature for pork tenderloin?

The USDA Guidelines recommend an internal center temperature of pork to be at least 145 F. After roasting, let the pork rest at room temperature for about three minutes. During this resting period, the internal temperature will continue to rise a few degrees, often landing around the perfect range of 150-155F.

Do I need to marinate the pork tenderloin before cooking?

No, you don’t need to marinate the pork tenderloin before cooking. This recipe uses a simple marinade-rub that coats the pork tenderloin, and it goes straight into the oven without any chilling time needed.

Can I use pork loins instead of pork tenderloins for this recipe?

We recommend using pork tenderloins for this recipe as they are smaller in size and much more tender than pork loins. However, if you would like to use a regular pork loin, we suggest slicing it into 4″ x 8″ pieces before using in this recipe, so as to mimic the size of tenderloins.

What if the pork tenderloin is cooked before the vegetables?

If the pork tenderloin is fully cooked before the vegetables are done, you can simply remove the tenderloin and keep it warm while the vegetables finish their beautiful browning in the oven.

How do I guarantee that pork tenderloin is tender and succulent?

The key to a tender and succulent pork tenderloin is to cook it at the right temperature and let it rest after roasting. This allows the juices to re-disperse throughout the roast, resulting in a juicy, tender, and succulent pork tenderloin.

How long does sheet pan pork tenderloin keep?

The sheet pan pork tenderloin can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and flavor.

What is the importance of a meat thermometer in this recipe?

A faithful meat thermometer is essential in this recipe to guarantee that pork tenderloin is cooked to the right internal temperature. It helps you monitor the rising temperature without disturbing the roast.

Ingredients  

Instructions

  • Prepare Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Line a large baking pan with foil and generously grease foil. Use paper towels to pat-dry all excess moisture from the pork tenderloins; place tenderloins in center of greased-foiled pan and set aside.
  • Combine: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, onion, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk to combine well to form the marinade. Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade in separate small bowl. Add potatoes and carrots to the marinade in large bowl and toss to combine well.
  • Season: Evenly drizzle the reserved 1/3 cup marinade over the pork, ensuring all sides are coated. Place potato/carrot mixture evenly around the pork tenderloins, ensuring that all marinade is evenly dispersed.
  • Cook: Roast in oven 45-50 minutes, OR until pork reaches internal temp of 145F when tested in the thickest center portion. The correct thermometer allows you to monitor the rising temperature without disturbing the roast. Actual cook time will vary according to oven. If pork is done before veggies, carefully use tongs to transfer pork to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm at room temp.
  • Veggies: If potatoes/carrots need to cook longer, bump up the oven temp to 425F and continue roasting veggies until nicely browned and tender – check often for doneness. Actual cook time depends on the size of cut pieces.
  • Rest and Slice: always allow roasts to rest at room temp at least 5-10 minutes before slicing. The temp will continue to rise during resting; juices will re-disperse throughout the roast during rest period.  Slice pork and drizzle with any pan sauces that remain. Serve with potatoes and carrots.

Notes

  • Always pat your pork tenderloins dry with paper towels before seasoning; this helps the marinade adhere better and ensures a nice sear.
  • For a high-quality balsamic vinegar, look for one that’s aged and has a thicker consistency, which will impart a richer flavor to your marinade.
  • Don’t skip mincing your fresh rosemary leaves; this releases the oils and maximizes the herb’s aromatic contribution to the dish.
  • Use a proper meat thermometer to check the pork’s internal temperature without disturbing the cooking process, aiming for 145F in the thickest part.
  • If you find your pork is done before the veggies, tent it with foil after removing it from the oven; this keeps it warm and lets it rest, making it even more tender.
  • Should your baby potatoes and carrots need more time, don’t be afraid to crank up the heat to 425F to achieve that perfect caramelization.
  • Let the pork tenderloin rest for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing; this allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicier and more flavorful meat.
  • When serving, don’t forget to drizzle the pork with any remaining pan sauces; they’re packed with flavor and make the dish even more succulent.
  • Balsamic vinegar quality and flavor varies widely between brands; we recommend using a high-quality balsamic vinegar that’s rich, thick, sweet, and fruity – it balances out the acidity. If you love your choice of balsamic vinegar, use the full 6 tablespoons. 
  • Do a taste test: if your balsamic vinegar is rather acidic, either use less of it OR balance it out by adding more honey.
  • This recipe is meant for pork tenderloins, which are much more tender and smaller in size than pork loin. 
  • In order for the potatoes and carrots to cook properly, you’ll need to cut them smaller than you may be used to. 
  • Serve your Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin with creamy Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, or try our favorite Garlic Roasted Potatoes.

    Amy, tried your sheet pan pork tenderloin recipe exactly as recommended, absolutely delicious!!! Used halved baby potatoes and baby carrots from last fall harvest from our garden. Potatoes and carrots had to be left in oven for additional 10 minutes at 425 degrees. The aroma from the marinade while mixing was unbelievable!

    I made this recipe for NYE day, perfect and low carb for me. I didn’t have carrots but green apples that I added instead. Took away the honey . Served side of asparagus with it. It was delicious .

    Just made this for the first time. Tomorrow I’m buying another pork tenderloin so that I can make it for guests! Delicious! And I’m finally using my Pampered Chef stoneware!

    The taste of this dish is fantastic but please cook the pork to temp instead of 45-50 mins. The recipe gives you the choice. It’s not a choice, cook to temp.
    I pulled the pork at 137 degrees at about 20 mins. Then cranked the temp and let the veg roast for the rest of the time. Put the pork back in and let it go to 145. Everything turned out really well but next time I’m going to try veggies at 350 for 30 mins, add pork and cook at 475 until it’s 145. It might brown the pork better. Very tasty though, thanks!

    Love this recipe exactly as written. Have made this several times and love just cooking the vegetables at the end at 450 for a few minutes to add a bit more “Caramelizing” . So delicious !! Thanks for sharing this recipe

      • Amy Dong

      Aww, thank you SO much, Cindy. That makes my day 🙂

    So good! I halved the honey and it was really delicious. Added chopped beets coz I love them roasted
    Really good recipe. Also didn’t add the tenderloin until halfway done on the veggies. Worked out perfectly

      • Amy Dong

      So happy you liked this dish 🙂

    Can the tenderloin be marinataead overnight?

    I’ve used the marinade recipe for several years and shared it with friends, too. I always cook the pork on the grill and have never added vegetables to make it a sheet pan dinner. It’s phenomenal and tastes great as a chicken marinade, too!

      • Amy Dong

      So happy you love it grilled, too! Thanks, Patty! 🙂

    • Nancy S Peery

    I was a little skeptical seeing I had a 8lb roast so I had to multiple the marinade times 4. This was an amazing roast and veggies. So flavorful! I cut slips in the meat and tucked in whole garlic cloves for added flavor. Baste the veggies with the marinade as you cook and don’t overcook! Delicious!

    I have made this dinner twice now and we love it! The last time I made it, I used a separate sheet pan for the potatoes and carrots and put them in the oven to bake for a half hour before the meat. On the sheet pan with the pork, I added broccoli on that pan. The timing ends up pretty even this way. Thank you for wonderful recipe!

      • Amy Dong

      You’re so welcome, Jill!

    I accidentally used honey MUSTARD instead of the honey. in the marinade. Awaited a taste with trepidation. It was delicious! Will be sticking with it. Took the pork out at 45 minutes, tented, kept warm, bumped the temp up to 425 for another 10 minutes or so. to finish the vegies – to which I added small onion wedges. This will be a regular on our winter menus. Thanks for sharing!

      • Amy Dong

      That’s awesome, Lilith! I love those accidental-rewards! SO glad you loved it!

    • s perez

    Can I brown the pork before putting it in the oven?

      • Amy Dong

      You can brown the pork on stovetop first, if you’d like.

    • Michelle Radford

    Could you do this in a slow cooker? If so, how long and on what temp would you cook it?

    • Barbara

    Making this for Thanksgiving. I also want to use sweet potatoes, but was wondering how many? Would two peeled and cut up be enough?

      • Amy Dong

      If you’re subbing out the regular potatoes, then use 2lbs. If adding sweet potatoes, 1 large or 2 small ones would be fine.

    • Penny Hill

    I plan on making this, but what would you suggest in place of the fresh or dried rosemary? A family member absolutely hates rosemary anyway it comes.

    thank you ~

      • Amy Dong

      You can use almost any favorite herb – thyme, sage, oregano are great options.

    Loved this recipe. I used sweet potatoes and regular potatoes and carrots. I was a little worried about the amount of garlic but it was wonderful i also used 2tbsp honey and 2.maple syrup along with 4. Tbsp of balsamic vinegar. I didn’t have fresh rosemary so I used 2. Tsp of dried. Cooked for 50 minutes. Perfect. Thanks for the recipe
