Healthy Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin With Roasted Vegetables and Apple Cider Gravy
A healthy sheet pan pork tenderloin with roasted vegetables comes together in under 40 minutes and is a perfect weeknight meal. Loaded with fresh fall veggies like Brussels sprouts, apples, onions, and sweet potatoes, and topped with a delicious apple cider gravy, this meal can easily be on repeat every week!
Pork chops and apples are a popular food pairing – so I took that pairing with pork tenderloin, added extra veggies, and made a sweet and savory cider gravy for this ultimate fall dinner.
The kids gobbled it up and asked for seconds!
Pork tenderloin is one of the healthiest cuts of pork that you can eat. It’s lean and can have fewer calories than chicken and lean cuts of beef, according to Registered Dietitian Cara Harbstreet in a SELF article. Additionally, pork is an excellent source of many B vitamins, including thiamin, vitamin B6, and niacin. It’s also a good source of potassium, which can help lower blood pressure.
When paired with heart-healthy veggies like apples, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes, pork tenderloin can be a healthy, low-carb dinner that is full of flavor.
The key to roasting pork tenderloin in the oven is to sear it in a pan first. Searing the pork tenderloin creates a gorgeous crust, which not only looks good but also locks in the juices when roasting. Additionally, all the brown bits left behind from searing give you the base for a flavorful apple cider gravy.
The apple cider gravy is really not a gravy in its true sense because it does not contain flour, but it’s more of an apple cider reduction with flavors added to enhance the sauce. It’s delicious and would pair beautifully with any pork chops or a pork loin.
Ingredients for Roasted Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin
Serves 4
This one-pan pork tenderloin dinner brings together the best of fall — tender pork, roasted vegetables, and a luscious apple cider gravy that ties it all together. Sweet, savory, and perfectly balanced, it’s comfort food made simple.
18 oz pork tenderloin
Lean, tender, and flavorful — the Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper tenderloin adds a deliciously seasoned base with minimal prep.
1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
Roasting brings out their nutty sweetness and gives them crisp, caramelized edges.
1 sweet potato, diced into 1-inch pieces
Naturally sweet and hearty, sweet potatoes add vibrant color and satisfying texture.
½ red onion, diced into 1-inch pieces
Adds a mild sweetness and deep flavor that complements the roasted vegetables and pork.
2 apples, chopped into 1-inch pieces
Juicy and slightly tart apples roast beautifully, pairing perfectly with the savory pork and creamy cider sauce.
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Helps the vegetables roast to golden perfection and adds a rich, fruity depth.
Salt and pepper, to taste
Simple seasoning to enhance all the natural flavors in the dish.
Apple Cider Gravy
- 1 tablespoon butter – Creates a smooth, flavorful base for the sauce.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced – Adds warmth and depth to the gravy.
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme – A touch of earthy, aromatic flavor that pairs beautifully with apple and pork.
- 1 cup apple cider – Sweet and tangy, this forms the heart of the sauce and brings the whole dish together.
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard – Adds a subtle sharpness and helps balance the sweetness of the cider.
- ⅓ cup heavy cream, room temperature – Finishes the gravy with a silky texture and rich, velvety flavor.
How to Make Sheet Pan Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Veggies
Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin to the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until brown crust forms on the meat.
Transfer the pork tenderloin to a sheet pan. Place the Brussels sprouts, chopped sweet potatoes, apples, and red onion on the sheet pan around the pork. Toss the veggies with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the pork and veggies in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pork registers 150° with a thermometer in the thickest part of the tenderloin. Flip the veggies once during roasting.
While the pork is roasting, make the apple cider gravy. Heat the skillet used to sear the pork over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook the minced garlic in the butter until fragrant, about 1 – 2 minutes.
Add the fresh thyme, apple cider, and Dijon mustard. Stir until the mustard is smooth and incorporated. Add the heavy cream and stir until rich and creamy. Remove from the heat as it can reduce further if left on the heat too long.
Remove the pork from the oven and tent with foil before slicing for about 5 minutes.
Plate the veggies and pork on a platter and serve with the apple cider gravy.
