Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Spray a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Unwrap the pork tenderloin and place it in the baking dish. Use a paper towel to pat dry, then season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the room temperature butter, all but 1 teaspoon of garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, and onion powder and use a fork to mash and combine all of the ingredients. Using a spatula, spread this butter mixture evenly over the top of the pork.
In a separate bowl, add the onions, carrots, potatoes, avocado oil, and 1 teaspoon of reserved minced garlic. Stir until well coated, then arrange the veggies around the edge of the pork in the baking dish.
Roast in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until an internal thermometer reads 145 degrees F. If the pork isn't golden brown on top, broil in the oven for a minute or two until golden.
Once the pork has reached 145 degrees, remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes. To serve, spoon juices from the bottom of the baking dish over the meat. Slice the pork into 1" pieces, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with some of the roasted vegetables. Enjoy!

Notes

If the skin or top of the pork is browning too quickly it hasn't reached 145 degrees yet, cover the pork with foil until it's done.
You can also use very small pork tenderloins or double the ingredients and make this recipe with very large pork tenderloins. It's very versatile!
