INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Pork Tenderloin
1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1.5 cups Brussels Sprouts
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat dry the pork tenderloin and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Rub the pork tenderloin generously with unsweetened cocoa powder, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Place the seasoned tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Spread the Brussels sprouts on another baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast both the pork tenderloin and Brussels sprouts in the oven. The pork should roast for about 20-25 minutes or until its internal temperature reaches 145°F. The Brussels sprouts will take approximately 18-20 minutes until they're crisp on the edges.
Once done, let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate slices of the cocoa-rubbed pork tenderloin alongside the crispy roasted Brussels sprouts and enjoy your nutritious, flavor-packed dinner.
