It's spring! Let's celebrate with a juicy and totally delicious Primavera Pork Tenderloin recipe that'll knock your socks off.
(And if you haven't yet decided what to make for your Easter dinner this weekend, my subtle vote is that you make THIS THIS THIS!)
You definitely need to make this Primavera Pork Tenderloin because:
- It's so pretty! And spring deserves pretty colors and new takes on classic dishes.
- This is the juiciest stuffed pork tenderloin ever. Those spring veggies guarantee it won't dry out.
- It's a healthy pork recipe!
- It's easy to make. If you can make a couple cuts with your knife and stuff those cuts with vegetables, you've got this.
- Prosciutto. Salty and amazing prosciutto.
- Goat cheese – ok, not technically mandatory but if you do cheese don't skip past it.
Your Primavera Pork Tenderloin Game Plan
→ Make cuts about every 2 inches along the pork tenderloin. Make sure not to cut all the way through!
→ Stuff a little piece of thinly shaved prosciutto into each of the cuts.
→ If you love goat cheese (like me!) spoon a little into each of the cuts.
→ Now add the veggies, alternating the colors for maximum prettiness.
→ Drizzle a little Italian herb + balsamic vinegar + olive oil combo over everything then pop them into your oven for 25 minutes.
→ Dig in!

Celebrate spring with this Juicy Primavera Pork Tenderloin stuffed with all your favorite springtime veggies and drizzled in a flavorful Italian marinade. It's pretty enough to serve to guess but easy enough to make for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner. It's the ultimate spring pork recipe!
| gluten-free + paleo and Whole30 adaptable |
Ingredients
- 2 – 1 1/2-2 lb. pork tenderloins
- 100 grams thinly sliced prosciutto
- Optional: 1/4 cup goat cheese (omit for paleo and Whole30)
- 6 asparagus spears, ends snapped off
- 1/4 yellow pepper, cut into strips
- 1/4 small zucchini, cut into rounds then each round cut in half
- 1/2 tomato, cut into slices
The seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons each: minced fresh oregano and thyme (or 1 teaspoon each dried)
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Set your oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the pork on the baking sheet and make cuts every 2 inches along the tenderloins being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff a small piece of prosciutto into each of the cuts. If you're using the goat cheese, place about a teaspoon in each cut. Fill the cuts with the veggies, alternating colors.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the seasoning ingredients. Pour this over the pork.
- Place the tenderloins in the oven and roast for 25 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, you want it to read 145 degrees. After removing it from the oven, let the pork rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into slices to serve.
Notes
You'll have some extra veggies on hand after stuffing the pork. They're great tossed in a little olive oil and roasted beside the pork. Or make an easy veggie stir fry tomorrow!

Hi, I’m Kristen! 
This sounds awesome! I don’t have tenderloin, but I do have a loin – would this work with that? What temperature and how long should I cook it for? Thanks so much!
Unfortunately, a pork loin won’t work. The names are confusing since they sound so similar! The pork loin you have needs to be slow cooked in the oven or in a crockpot for many hours. Next time you’re at the store, look for the long, thin (and honestly pretty weird looking) pieces of pork. Those are the tenderloins. 🙂
I made this for a dinner party and everyone loved it. The pork was so juicy! I thought it would be difficult to make but it was so easy. Didn’t tell my guests that though lol.

So happy it was a hit!
