Direction
1
Start oven with 425F center rack.Butternut prep: On foil-lined baking sheet, mix squash, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, and 1 teaspoon sea salt.
2
Add rosemary to squash. Sealing squash foil edges creates pockets. On top rack, bake 25–30 minutes until tender and light gold.Optional squash enhances pork.
3
Prepare tenderloins: Dry with paper towels.
Rub herbs on tenderloins: Crush olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and sage into a paste in a small bowl or mortar and pestle. Rub paste on pork loin and place in foil-lined roasting pan or baking sheet. Put sweet paprika on.
4
Put carrots, celery, and onion around the pork in the pan. Add wine (or water), coconut aminos, and broth to the pan bottom. Add a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Put pork and veggies on middle oven rack.
5
Cook in oven: Cook the pork and vegetables uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the pork browns and the tenderloin registers 145-150 degrees F at the thickest part. So the pork will be juicy and pink in the middle.
6
Reduce heat to 375F halfway through cooking. Put sauce on pork.This takes 22 minutes per pound for medium and 27 for well-done. Check pan bottom for dryness midway through cooking. The pan may need broth or water.
7
Check your squash: Optional for butternut. Roast butternut 20–25 minutes.Cooking times vary. Tenderloin, veggies, and oven time may grow.Remove pork, veggies: Place tenderloins on cutting board after baking. Relax 10 minutes. Rest uncovered.
8
While pork rests, make sauce: Heat the sauce, carrots, celery, and onion from the bottom of the pan in a skillet with butter (or margarine) on medium-high to melt the butter and make a nice sauce. Mix it up. Try the sauce. Need salt and pepper? Adjust.Slice pork: Off-grain cutting and plating. Serve vegetables, sauce, and squash immediately if made.
