Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Place the sweet potato, red onion and apples in a large bowl. Drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with half of the thyme, salt and pepper, and mix well.
3
Spread the prepared vegetables and apples in a single layer on the baking tray. Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
4
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the meat. Season the pork tenderloin medallions with salt, pepper, and ground red paprika.
5
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a pan until very hot. Quickly sear the medallions on both sides (about 1-2 minutes per side) until golden brown on the outside but still raw in the middle. This locks in the meat's juiciness.
6
After 15 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. Add the broccoli florets and crushed garlic among the vegetables. Place the seared pork medallions on top.
7
Return everything to the oven for another 8–10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. The pork should reach an internal temperature of around 63 °C to remain pink and juicy.
8
Remove the tray from the oven. Let the meat rest directly on the tray for 5 minutes before serving, so the juices can redistribute evenly.
9
Serve warm, optionally drizzled with a few drops of balsamic vinegar to further enhance the apple flavor.
