Quick Glazed Pork Loin
Prepared in under an hour, this pork tenderloin is baked with a medley of vegetables in a sweet and spicy glaze.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 pound pork tenderloin
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate
2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon Splenda® Granulated No Calorie Sweetener
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (14-ounce) package frozen vegetable blend
Cooking Directions:
1 – Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2 – Rinse pork loin and pat dry. Set aside.
3 – Mix water, tomato paste, orange juice concentrate, chili powder, salt, Splenda® Granulated Sweetener, and white vinegar in a small mixing bowl.
4 – Place pork loin in a 13x9x2-inch pan. Cover with half of the glaze. Bake 15 minutes in preheated oven.
5 – Remove pork loin from oven. Cover with remaining glaze. Place vegetables around pork loin. Bake an additional 15 minutes or until the vegetables are hot and the pork loin is completely cooked*.
Makes 4 servings. Serving Size: 1 (4-ounce) slice pork loin.
*Pork loin is completely cooked when poked with a fork in the thickest section of the loin and juice runs clear or meat thermometer registers 155°F (approximately 65°C. Let roast stand for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows juices to settle in the meat creating a juicier cut of meat.
Tip: Double the glaze recipe to make extra glaze for dipping or sauce.

This week’s Diabetic Side Dish of the Week is Roasted Parsnips, Carrots, and Red Onion. To make this week’s recipe you’ll be needing Carrots, Parsnips, Red Onion, Balsamic Vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salt, and Black Pepper. The Dish is 107 calories and 16 net carbs.

Roasted Parsnips, Carrots, and Red Onion
Full of flavor and a cinch to prepared, these balsamic-coated root vegetables are a hearty side dish that sure to hit the spot!
Ingredients
2 carrots (9 ounces), cut into 2-inch-long pieces
2 parsnips (9 ounces), cut into 2-inch-long pieces
3/4 cup vertically sliced red onion (1/4-inch slices)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: about 3/4 cup per serving
1 – Preheat oven to 425°F. Line large baking sheet with foil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2 – Combine carrots, parsnips, onion, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in large bowl; toss to coat. Spread in single layer on prepared baking sheet.
3 – Roast 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
Note: Parsnips are a pale white root vegetable similar to the carrot in shape. The parsnip, however, is broader at the top and has a smoother skin. The longer it stays in the ground, the sweeter it becomes. Choose parsnips that are firm, unblemished, and small or medium in size (about 8 inches long). Rinse and scrub parsnips with a vegetable brush to remove embedded soil. Peel parsnips with a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler or paring knife. Trim off ends and discard. For even cooking, parsnips are best chopped, cubed, sliced, or cut into strips before cooking.
