A quick and easy honey mustard glazed pork tenderloin roasted alongside crispy golden potatoes, delivering a sweet-savory, melt-in-your-mouth comfort meal perfect for family dinners or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of silver skin
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (grainy mustard optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), halved or quartered
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and trim off any silver skin or excess fat.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, and chopped thyme or rosemary. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth and glossy.
  4. Lightly salt and pepper the tenderloin all over. Brush about two-thirds of the honey mustard glaze generously over the pork, saving the rest for basting later.
  5. In a medium bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  6. Place the pork tenderloin in the center of a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan. Scatter the potatoes evenly around it, leaving space for proper roasting.
  7. Roast for about 20 minutes, then baste the pork with the reserved glaze and gently toss the potatoes to turn them for even browning.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast another 10-15 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the potatoes are golden and tender.
  9. Remove the tenderloin from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Optionally, drizzle a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice over the potatoes before serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork is cooked to 145°F for perfect juiciness. Brush glaze in layers and baste halfway through roasting for best flavor. If potatoes brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Let pork rest before slicing to lock in juices. Substitute maple syrup for honey or sweet potatoes for a seasonal twist. This recipe is naturally gluten-free; verify mustard brand if needed.
