This Glazed Pork Tenderloin recipe is tasty, but it is also a wonderful weight loss recipe. The key to this recipe is a simplistic flavor profile and a few smart cooking techniques. First, the green beans are put beneath the pork tenderloin to absorb flavor and avoid drying out.
Next, instead of marinating or searing the tenderloin, use hoisin sauce as an all-in-one flavor-packed glaze. As a glaze in this recipe, the hoisin sauce is brilliant. It doesn't lend an Asian flavor character to the dish; it offers a sweet and salty flavor that works well with the pork.
So, if you're seeking a tasty and healthy recipe, try this Glazed Pork Tenderloin!

Ingredients
2 trimmed 1 lb Pork tenderloins
1 tbsp Hoisin sauce
1 lb Green beans (trimmed stems)
1 ½ lbs Baby potatoes, halved lengthwise
3 tbsp Olive oil
Freshly ground pepper and kosher salt
4 tbsp Softened butter
2 tbsp Chives, freshly minced
1 Clove of garlic, minced into a paste
Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and lower the oven rack to a middle-lower position. Nonstick cooking sprays on a heavy-duty baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Place green beans in the middle of the baking sheet.
- Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper in the same bowl. Place green beans cut side down on a baking sheet.
- Season tenderloins liberally with salt and pepper after brushing with hoisin sauce. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the tenderloins reads 140 degrees.
- While the tenderloin roasts, combine the butter, chives, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and spread one spoonful of garlic herb butter on each tenderloin before slicing.
- Serve the remaining two tablespoons of garlic herb butter on the potatoes and green beans.
