Oven Roasted Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin, succulent pork tenderloin marinated using a mix of spices and brown sugar, baked with baby potatoes and onions, a perfect dinner.

This delicious recipe has been generously shared by one of our great cooks, Carina. She's always coming up with great recipes, and here we have Carina's oven roasted brown sugar pork tenderloin.

Carina tells me it's one of her hubby's favorites, so much so, she has to keep him out of the kitchen until she is ready to serve dinner!!

The smells when this is cooking is wonderful, and the tender, juicy pork with the rub is just so delicious!

The rub is made up of brown sugar and a mix of spices. When they're all rubbed in to the pork and then baked, the flavor is wonderful. the rub also keeps the pork tenderloin moist whist cooking, so you don't end up with dry pork.

The addition of baby potatoes and carrots makes this a perfect meal in a pan recipe, and if you wanted, you could also add some baby carrots or other vegetables, just make sure they are all cut to a similar size for even cooking.

It's an easy recipe, cook everything in one dish, and great for busy people who want to cook a meal in one!

Please note cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your meat and also how many potatoes etc you have in the dish.rnrnAs a guide, the thicker the meat / more potatoes, the longer it may take to cook. Check the meat after 1 hour to see if the juices run clear. If they do, it’s ready!
