The Recipe

Ingredients & Instructions

Everything you need to make this dish at home.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together bourbon, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
  3. Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper.
