Sheet Pan Balsamic Pork Tenderloin
We love a sheet pan meal on a busy weeknight. Slide everything into the oven and it will cook together for maximum flavor with minimum hands-on effort. The chutney served over the pork is a unique way to serve apples that are tart and savory instead of super sweet.
Smarts: If you're short on time, skip the apple chutney or just serve the meal with apple slices on the side - you'll still benefit from the classic flavor combination of balsamic vinegar, pork, and apples.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C degrees.
  2. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. (This is optional but will make clean-up easier.)
  3. Place pork tenderloin in the center of the sheet pan and tenderize with a fork.
  4. Toss Brussels sprouts with oil, second part of balsamic vinegar (portion for pork), and some salt and pepper. Spread around pork.
  5. Pour or spoon balsamic-mustard glaze over the top of pork tenderloin.
  6. Transfer to the oven and roast until Brussels sprouts are tender and pork is cooked through (reaches 145F / 63C), 20 to 30 minutes (depending on thickness of tenderloin).
  7. While pork and Brussels sprouts roast, place saucepan with apples over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat to maintain a low simmer. Simmer until apples are soft but still hold their shape, 10 to 15 minutes. (Note: If the pan looks dry before apples are soft, add water as needed. The chutney should be thick and not watery when it’s done.)
  8. When pork is done, transfer to a cutting board and rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
  9. Slice pork and serve with Brussels sprouts on the side. Spoon apple chutney over pork. Enjoy!
