Recipe FAQ
- → How do I know when the pork tenderloin is fully cooked?
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- → Can I substitute the pork tenderloin with another protein?
Yes, chicken breast can be used instead but adjust the cooking time to ensure it cooks through without drying out.
- → What vegetables work best for roasting with pork?
Root vegetables like carrots and starchy vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and onions roast well and complement the pork’s flavors.
- → Is it important to let the pork rest after roasting?
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and tender texture when sliced.
- → Can I prepare the dish ahead of time?
You can marinate the pork and chop the vegetables ahead, then roast just before serving for best freshness.
