Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes & Carrots

Roasted Pork Tenderloin is another one of my family recipes that my family loves. I usually make it on a Sunday and we use the leftovers to make pork sandwiches the next day.

Pork tenderloins are one of those cuts of meat that come in all sizes. You can buy a small, one to two pound tenderloin that will feed 2 people or you can buy one that is over five pounds that will feed a large family and still have leftovers for the next day.

Roasted Pork Tenderloin is a perfect Sunday dinner. You place the pork and vegetables in a roasting pan and bake it in the oven. There is no extra work that needs to be done.

Matter of fact it is best to leave the aluminum foil in place until you get to the point when it is time to brown the top. Trapping the heat and moisture in the roasting pan is what makes this roasted pork tenderloin fall apart tender.

When the Roasted Pork Tenderloin is done cooking allow it to rest about 10 minutes before carving. I was in a hurry to get dinner served and didn't wait long enough and I had a hard time carving the pork roast.

      Hi Kathy

      This is a pork loin. Covering the roasting pan with aluminum is what keeps the tenderloin moist and tender.
