Today though is a long time easy favorite. This maple-mustard pork tenderloin is a quick and easy way to prepare pork, and it turns out so very delicious every time!

I’ve used fresh thyme here but I've also made this with dried thyme before, since I always have it in my pantry. (See notes below.)

You could also substitute rosemary. It's pretty forgiving, which is why I go back to this recipe again and again.

As you can see, I like to serve it with roasted sweet potatoes and roasted veggies. They all cook in the oven at 400 degrees so it works well to just add a few more pans. It’s a fix it and forget it type of meal. 👍

Below I've included the game plan if you want to do this whole combo and not just the pork by itself.

And while everything's cooking away for you in the oven, you're left to twiddle your thumbs. Or pour another drink. Or pick up children and toys and tissues of unknown origin...

And then dinner is served. Look ma, no hands!

Here's the game plan for making the maple-mustard pork tenderloin plus sweet potatoes and roasted veggies:

1. Preheat the oven to 400.
2. Wash, peel and dice the sweet potatoes. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper and put in the oven once it’s to temperature. They will roast for 30-40 minutes total. 
3. After you’ve started the sweet potatoes in the oven, get the pork ready. Mix the mustard mixture and slather it on the pork in the pan.
4. Next, chop the remaining veggies (use whatever you have in your fridge - mushrooms, zucchini, squash, peppers, onion, etc.) and get them on another pan. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
5. Once the sweet potatoes have been in for about 10-15 minutes, give them a little shake and put the pork and the veggies in the oven. In about 20-25 minutes, dinner is served. Go have a glass of wine while you wait. 😊

Enjoy!
