Show Roast up simply seasoned pork tenderloins, potatoes, tomatoes, and green beans for a sheet pan dinner that makes cleanup a breeze. The drizzle of balsamic glaze over the tomatoes and green beans adds a tangy-sweet finishing touch. Sheet Pan Pork, Potatoes, and Vegetables
I am a staunch believer that sheet pan dinners are weeknight heroes, and this one is no exception: A whole meal that undergoes hands-off cooking in the oven and is ready in an hour. Hard to beat! The combination of roasted pork + potatoes + green beans has been a regular in our dinner rotation for years because we love it so much. I used to marinate the pork starting in the morning, until it hit me that an 8-hour marinade kind of defeats the purpose of an easy sheet pan
meal. So I switched to a simple homemade pork rub and it is so much better! It's a little spicy, a little sweet, and forms the most delicious crust on the outside of the pork as it roasts. (Not to mention the perk of not handling raw pork in the morning.) Baby
potatoes are perfect here because they will be done at the same time as everything else. Plus, they are indisputably cuter and more fun to eat than regular potatoes. And let me take a moment to publicly declare my love for roasted green beans. They are tender, crisp, ever-so-slightly charred. An ideal way to cook fresh green beans! Where do I find baby potatoes? I get mine at Aldi! They are tri-colored, which is always fun, and come in a 24-ounce mesh bag. You don't need to peel or chop them, but do be sure to wash and dry well! Can I cook everything on the same sheet pan? You can, but I prefer to use two pans (one for veggies, one for pork). I have two reasons for this:
If you're okay with steamed veggies and a less-crisp pork exterior, you can definitely do everything on the same pan! Can I use pork loin instead of pork tenderloin? NO! They are very different cuts that are different sizes, textures, etc., so a loin will not work here. If you have a pork loin that you need to do something with, here's my favorite way to make a whole roast! An easy + satisfying sheet pan dinner! Pork tenderloin is coated in a sweet and spicy dry rub and roasted with green beans and baby potatoes. The dry rub gives the pork a caramelized, crispy exterior and a juicy interior, while the veggies roast perfectly - all in under an hour!

Reader InteractionsDo you have to sear a pork tenderloin before baking in the oven?Before roasting, we always sear the pork on all sides first. After seasoning, throw it into a hot pan — we love our cast iron skillet for this. Sear all sides until they are golden brown. It's okay if the pork is still raw in the middle.
What temperature should I cook pork tenderloin in the oven?Brush the pork tenderloin with additional marinade, then bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for about 15-20 minutes, until the pork reaches a temperature of 145°F, then remove it from the oven. Cooking the pork tenderloin at the high temperature of 425 degrees F helps it cook quickly and prevents it from drying out.
How long do you cook a pork tenderloin on 350?A good rule of thumb is to cook pork loin 25 minutes per pound at 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), so use a thermometer to know when it's done. You'll want to let your pork loin rest at least three minutes before serving.
What is the difference between pork loin and pork tenderloin?The names may be almost the same, but pork loin and pork tenderloin are different cuts of meat. A pork tenderloin is a long, narrow, boneless cut of meat that comes from the muscle that runs along the backbone. A pork loin is wider and flatter, and can be a boneless or bone-in cut of meat.
