Roasted pork tenderloin is a flavourful and comforting Sunday dinner. With tender apple slices, roasted vegetables, and a tangy maple dijon glaze, this pork dinner is perfect for fall.
My family goes nuts for pork tenderloin, whether in a marinade (like this Amazing Pork Tenderloin Marinade), or cooked in the Instant Pot (like this Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin with Soy Ginger Sauce). But you really can't beat the classic pork + apples combo in this roasted pork tenderloin recipe!
With juicy pork tenderloin coated with an absolutely delicious maple dijon glaze, an assortment of vegetables and apple slices, this is the perfect sheet pan recipe for fall. Bonus: no searing the meat before hand! We love that everything cooks up all together and that there is only one pan to wash up!

Let's talk ingredients!
- Pork- We are using pork tenderloin, not to be confused with pork loin. Since pork tenderloin can vary in size, it's best to rely on a digital thermometer to let you know when it is ready to come out of the oven. Generally pork tenderloins are sold two to a package, that is why this recipe uses two.
- Roasted vegetables- Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. This will also work with regular potatoes, baby potatoes, carrots or parsnips.
- Apples- Any variety will do but I used Honeycrisp apples.
- Glaze- Maple syrup, dijon mustard and minced garlic. You can also use honey if you prefer.
- Spice rub- Salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, chili powder and black pepper.
How to Make Roasted Pork Tenderloin
This is a very simple recipe to make, but there are a few steps. Don't worry, I'll walk you through the entire process.
Would you like to save this?
- Combine the spices in a small bowl and rub it generously all over the pork tenderloin. Be sure all sides are covered well and place them in the center of large a greased baking sheet.
- Next, toss the halved Brussels sprouts, cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper. You can do this in a bowl, or just straight on the sheet pan with your hands if you prefer.
- Bake the pork and vegetables in a 400 degrees F oven and roast for 15 minutes. Then remove the pan from the oven and brush with half of the maple dijon sauce. Put the baking sheet back in the oven and roast another 10 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Allow the pork to rest 10 minutes when it finishes cooking. This is very important to allow the juices to settle. Brush the pork with the remaining sauce.
Recipe Tips
- Pork temperature- I highly recommend using an instant-read thermometer to test the internal temperature of the pork. Cook to an internal temperature of 145ยฐF for medium rare or 150ยฐF for medium.
- Sheet pans- Depending on the size of sheet pan you have you might want to split this into two sheet pans if needed.
- Leftovers- This recipe keeps for leftovers about two days in an airtight container. I do not think Brussels sprouts do well stored much longer than that.
- Meal prep- certain components can be prepped ahead:
- the glaze + spice rub can be mixed up to a week ahead
- do not prep the vegetables ahead, as apples and potatoes do not store well.

Yes, you will need to stick to thinner pork chops, roughly 1"-1.5" for a similar cooking time listed. Remember to rely on your thermometer.
Yes, as along as you cut the vegetables and apples as directed. If you leave them in large pieces they will not cook through.

I generally don't like pork tenderloin and my husband loves it so we don't eat it as often as he would like. I think I'm going to make this dish for him, it will be a pleasant surprise and who knows it looks so yummy I might like it too.

We don't eat pork tenderloin very often at our place, but it is so easy to roast it up (and tasty) that I think it will go on rotation more often. Hope you like it, Nichole ๐
