Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 dates, pitted and chopped, or to taste
3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon sliced garlic
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
6 cups 1/2-inch x 2-inch rainbow carrot sticks
4 cups 1/2-inch x 2-inch peeled, seeded butternut squash chunks
½ red onion, sliced lengthwise
2 (1 1/4 pound) pork tenderloins

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
Place 2 tablespoons olive oil, dates, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender or small food processor. Pulse several times to mix, then puree until smooth, about 1 minute. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture for later use.
Combine rainbow carrots, butternut squash, and red onion in a large bowl. Toss with balsamic mixture, and place on the prepared sheet pan.
Roast vegetables, uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, blot tenderloins with paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place tenderloins in skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Stir vegetables; nestle tenderloins into vegetables. Brush each tenderloin with 1 tablespoon reserved balsamic mixture and return the sheet pan to the oven.
Roast, uncovered, until vegetables are tender and pork is slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes. The internal temperature of the meat should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Drizzle vegetables and tenderloins with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Cook's Note:

Use any combination of root vegetables your family prefers by substituting an equal amount of beets, turnips, or parsnips for some of the carrots.
