How to Make Honey Mustard Pork Tenderloin

I marinated the pork tenderloin in a loaf pan (covered with plastic wrap in the fridge), but you could also use a ziplock bag if you prefer. For better results, just remember to turn the meat over about halfway through for even coverage.

What Apples Pair Best With Pork Tenderloin?

Sweeter apple varieties usually work best when paired with pork, so I recommend sticking to your favorite red or yellow apple variety. The only thing to keep in mind is that some apples are more suited to roasting than others; popular varieties like Fuji and Gala apples usually lose their texture and turn mushy when baked.

If you need apple inspiration, Honeycrisp is probably the best bet when it comes to an apple that tastes great and holds up in the oven.

FAQs

I don’t eat pork, can I make this recipe with chicken?

Yes, absolutely! Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be used instead of the pork tenderloin; just be sure to roast chicken until it’s fully cooked.

Do any other veggies work with this sheet pan recipe?

This honey mustard pork tenderloin recipe is delicious and I wouldn’t blame you for wanting to change it up so you can eat it more often or use seasonal produce!

The Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted with fresh garden potatoes, baby potatoes, red potatoes, or even russets. Sweet potatoes also work, but you may find it too sweet with the apples (so keep that in mind.)

For the beans, other roasting vegetables like carrots (pre-blanched or sliced small so they cook in time), snap peas, and thinly sliced zucchini are all great options.

I don’t have time to marinade my meat, can I still make this recipe?

Yes, but your pork tenderloin may not be as flavorful and juicy. After whisking the marinade ingredients together, pour them over your prepared sheet pan and toss over the meat, potatoes, beans, and apples to coat.
