Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloins Ingredients:

• Balsamic vinegar
• White wine
• Garlic
• Olive oil
• Honey
• Salt and pepper
• Pork loin
• Baby carrots
• Red potatoes
• Onion
• Fresh rosemary 

The balsamic pork tenderloin marinade really is the key to a stellar dish. However, I have been asked multiple times if the wine is really necessary. Yes, and no. It really is best if you use the ingredients called for. That being said, I understand that some people prefer not to use alcohol while cooking. 

The alcohol in this recipe is used to help tenderize the meat. You could substitute it with white grape juice or chicken stock. Although, the end result won’t be quite the same. 

I also really wanted to make this pork tenderloin recipe a full meal. Enter- All of the veggies in my fridge. Carrots, onion, and potato combine in the bottom of the pan and cook to perfection. The juices from your roast and added herbs and spices make this the perfect one pan dinner!
