Categories: Meal Prep Plan

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup Italian dressing plus 2 tbsp. (see recipe), divdied
  • Prepped carrots, parsnips and broccoli (see recipe)
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp salt, divided
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper, divided
  • 2 cups Quinoa (see recipe), reheated
  • 4 tbsp. balsamic glaze

Directions

  1. Place pork and 1/4 cup dressing in a large Ziploc bag. Press out air and seal. Massage the dressing all over the pork. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

  2. Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425.

  3. Toss carrots, parsnips and broccoli with 2 tbsp. oil, Italian seasoning, and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.

Heat the remaining 1 tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on one side, 3-5 minutes. Turn the pork over and transfer the pan to the upper rack.

  5. Roast until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Roast the vegetables on the lower rack, stirring once or twice, until tender and browned in spots, 20-25 minutes.

  6. Transfer the pork to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Toss the vegetables with the remaining 2 tbsp. dressing. Slice the pork.

  7. Serve the pork with the roasted vegetables and quinoa, drizzled with the balsamic glaze.
