Make an easy, flavorful holiday dinner with this simple One-Pan Cranberry Balsamic Pork Tenderloin and Roasted Vegetables. This recipe delivers big taste with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (about 1 to 1.5 lb) pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (like Brussels sprouts, carrots, and red onion, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to burst and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the Dijon mustard and thyme. This is your glaze.
  3. Pat the pork tenderloin dry. Rub it lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the mixed vegetables on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with a touch more olive oil, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat. Spread them into an even layer.
  5. Nestle the pork tenderloin among the vegetables on the baking sheet.
  6. Brush about half of the cranberry balsamic glaze evenly over the top of the pork tenderloin.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. Brush the pork with the remaining glaze. Return to the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted vegetables and any pan juices.

Notes

  • For easier cleanup, line your baking sheet with parchment paper before starting.
  • You can swap the vegetables based on what is seasonal or what you have on hand. Root vegetables work very well here.
  • Adjust the brown sugar slightly if you prefer a tarter glaze.
