  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place 1 rack in center position and another 4 inches from broiler. Spray a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray.

  2. Toss together cabbage and apples with 3 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on prepared sheet pan and arrange in an even layer.

  3. Pat pork dry and season with remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons oil with mustard, vinegar, honey, and thyme in a small bowl. Spread over all sides of pork and set pork on top of cabbage and apples.

  4. Roast on center rack until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of thickest part of each tenderloin registers 130 degrees F, about 25 minutes.

  5. Remove pan from oven and turn oven to broil. When broiler is hot, put pan on top rack and broil until pork has a golden-brown crust, thermometer registers 145 degrees F, and cabbage and apples have a light char, about 5 minutes. Cover pan loosely with foil and let pork rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve pork warm with cabbage and apples, sprinkled with parsley (if using).

Slow cooker pork tenderloin with cabbage and apples

Recently Mike, my husband, and I had a little meeting of the minds. We both want to replace most of the starches on our dinner plate with hearty vegetables. We each realized that our bodies feel better when we eat more colorful plant based fiber and less starchy foods like potatoes, pasta, and rice.

It was with this realization in mind I revisited a meal my mom often made for our family dinners. Pork roast with apples. I liked the idea of the pork because I could cook a large roast and use it for several meals during the week. To make it a complete 1-pot meal I added a heap of shredded cabbage and some onions. The vegetables helped balance the sweet of the apples with their more tangy, savory, flavors.

Slow cooked apple-pork roast with cabbage is a satisfying low-carb meal. In the following days the leftovers can become several lunches or more dinners. We enjoyed this apple-pork roast for Sunday dinner then Monday night just the cabbage was served alongside grilled Turkey Smoked Kielbasa. The next day the pork was combined with black beans to become a super fast enchilada lasagna – which created more yummy leftovers for lunches the rest of the week.
