Instructions
Season and Preheat
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil. Mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper then rub 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the seasoning mix all over the pork tenderloin.
Par-roast the Vegetables
Toss the sweet potato cubes and red onion wedges with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on the sheet pan. Roast the vegetables alone for 10 minutes to give them a head start since they take longer than the pork.
Add Pork and Finish Roasting
Remove the pan from the oven and push the vegetables to the sides to create space in the center. Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the center of the pan and return to the oven for 18 to 20 more minutes until the pork reaches 145 degrees F internally.
Rest and Slice
Remove the pan from the oven and let the pork tenderloin rest for 5 to 8 minutes tented with foil before slicing. Slice into 1-inch medallions and serve alongside the sweet potatoes and onions with the pan drippings drizzled over the top.
