Ingredients
Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin:
6-8 oz pork tenderloin portion
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, or sage), finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried herbs)
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garlic-Roasted Green Beans:
1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, minced

Preparation
Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin:
Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season Pork: Rub pork tenderloin evenly with olive oil or butter, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Roast Pork: Place pork on a parchment-lined baking sheet or roasting dish. Roast in oven for 25-30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness.
Cooking Tip: Rest pork 5-7 minutes after cooking to retain juiciness.
Garlic-Roasted Green Beans:
Prep Beans: Toss green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, and salt.
Roast Beans: Arrange on a baking sheet and roast alongside pork for approximately 15-20 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.
Cooking Tip: Shake pan halfway through roasting for even cooking and browning.
