ROASTED BROCCOLI – Roasting is one of our favorite ways to add depth (and crispiness!) to this classic green veg.

  • 10oz pork tenderloin
  • 1clove garlic

Roast potatoes:

Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce.

Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.

Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

Sear pork & prep:

While potatoes roast, pat pork dry with paper towels, season all over with salt and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4- to 8-minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and mince half the garlic.

Once pork is browned, transfer to one side of a second baking sheet. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. (No need to transfer to a baking sheet!)

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add minced garlic and thyme, cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
