This is the kind of meal I love making on busy weeknights. Everything goes onto one sheet pan, gets seasoned, and heads straight into the oven. There’s no need to dirty several pots and pans, and you get your meat, potatoes, and vegetables all in one meal.

Even better, using canned green beans and carrots cuts down on prep time. Just drain them, add them to the pan, and dinner is practically done!

Why You'll Love This Pork Tenderloin Sheet Pan Meal

Sheet pan dinners are perfect when you want a homemade meal without spending the entire evening in the kitchen. This one is especially easy because most of the ingredients require very little preparation.

The pork tenderloin stays juicy and flavorful while the potatoes roast alongside it. The green beans and carrots round everything out, making this an easy complete meal on one pan.

It’s also a great budget-friendly dinner since you can use pantry staples for the vegetables.

Ingredients for the Pork Tenderloin Sheet Pan Meal

For this easy pork tenderloin dinner, you will need:

  • 2 pork tenderloins
  • 1 can green beans, drained
  • 1 can sliced carrots, drained
  • 3–4 medium potatoes, diced into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Your favorite pork seasoning or seasoning blend, optional

How to Make a Pork Tenderloin Sheet Pan Meal

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Lightly grease a large rimmed sheet pan or line it with foil for even easier cleanup.

Place the two pork tenderloins down the center of the sheet pan. Pat the pork dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or your favorite pork seasoning.

Drain the canned green beans and carrots very well. Arrange the green beans in one section of the sheet pan and the carrots in another.

Dice the potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes over the remaining section of the sheet pan.

Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the pork tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F in the thickest part.

Depending on the size of your pork tenderloins and potato pieces, the potatoes may need a little extra time. If the pork reaches 145°F before the potatoes are tender, remove the pork from the pan, cover it loosely with foil, and return the vegetables and potatoes to the oven until they are done.

Let the pork tenderloin rest for about 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep all those delicious juices inside the meat.

Serve slices of pork tenderloin with a helping of roasted potatoes, green beans, and carrots.

Tips for Perfect Pork Tenderloin Sheet Pan Meal

The biggest trick with this dinner is cutting the potatoes small enough that they cook in roughly the same amount of time as the pork. Aim for pieces around 1/2-inch in size rather than large chunks.

Be sure to drain the canned vegetables thoroughly, too. Too much liquid on the sheet pan can cause the vegetables and potatoes to steam instead of roast.

Since canned vegetables are already cooked, they mainly need to heat through and pick up some flavor from the seasonings and pork.

For extra flavor, drizzle a little melted butter over the green beans and carrots before baking. A sprinkle of garlic powder, seasoned salt, or Italian seasoning is delicious, too.

How Do You Know When Pork Tenderloin Is Done?

Rather than relying only on cooking time, use an instant-read meat thermometer to check your pork.

Pork tenderloin is done when the thickest portion reaches 145°F. After removing it from the oven, allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Your exact cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of your tenderloins, so begin checking the temperature around the 25-minute mark.

Easy Variations

One of the best things about a sheet pan meal is how easy it is to change based on what you have in the pantry.

Instead of canned carrots, try corn or another favorite canned vegetable. You can also use fresh green beans if you have them on hand.

Sweet potatoes can replace regular potatoes, or you can use baby potatoes cut into small pieces.

You can also change the entire flavor of the meal simply by changing the seasoning on the pork. Try ranch seasoning, Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic herb seasoning, or a smoky barbecue dry rub.

What to Serve With Pork Tenderloin

Since you already have meat, potatoes, and two vegetables on the pan, you really don’t need anything else!

If you want to stretch the meal a little further, serve it with warm dinner rolls, homemade biscuits, cornbread, or a simple side salad.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover pork tenderloin, potatoes, and vegetables in separate airtight containers or together in a meal-prep container in the refrigerator.

The leftovers are great for an easy lunch the following day. Reheat them in the microwave or place everything back onto a sheet pan and warm it in the oven until heated through.

The Perfect Easy Weeknight Dinner

This Pork Tenderloin Sheet Pan Meal proves that dinner doesn’t have to be complicated to be filling and delicious. With juicy pork tenderloin, crispy seasoned potatoes, green beans, and carrots, you have everything you need for a complete meal right on one pan.

Keep a couple of cans of vegetables in the pantry and pork tenderloin in the freezer, and you’ll always have the makings of an easy dinner for those nights when you just don’t feel like cooking a complicated meal.
