Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork tenderloin

• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes on one side of a large sheet pan.
3. Season the pork: Rub the pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and the remaining garlic. Place the pork tenderloin in the center of the pan next to the potatoes.
4. Add the tomatoes: Toss the cherry tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Scatter the tomatoes around the pork and potatoes.
5. Roast: Roast the pork and vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the potatoes are tender.
6. Add the spinach: During the last 5 minutes of cooking, scatter the fresh spinach over the pan, letting it wilt slightly in the oven.
7. Rest and serve: Let the pork tenderloin rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the pork with the roasted potatoes, tomatoes, and spinach. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
