Roast Pork Tenderloin With Acorn Squash (or Spaghetti Squash)

Serves 4

Total time: 55 minutes

1 acorn squash (2 pounds), quartered, seeded and sliced 1/2 inch thick, skin on

8 garlic cloves, peeled

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Coarse salt and ground pepper

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)

4 teaspoons olive oil

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Scatter squash and garlic in a large roasting pan. Mix rosemary, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; rub into pork. Place in pan with vegetables; drizzle with oil.

2. Roast 25 minutes. Brush pork with hoisin. Continue roasting, about 15 minutes, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 140°.

3. Let meat stand 5 minutes before slicing 1 1/2 tenderloins (reserve remaining half to make Pork And Soba Noodle Salad, if desired). Serve with squash, garlic, and any pan juices.
