Simple Truth Organic® Fresh Grape Snacking Tomatoes 1 cup (optional but great) $3.49

Instructions

Prep the oven. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
Roast the carrots. Toss baby carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, black pepper, and (optional) 1 tsp honey/maple for a glossy roast. Spread on one side of the pan. Roast 10 minutes.
Add pork and finish roasting. Nestle teriyaki pork filet(s) on the other side of the pan. Roast 15–22 minutes more, depending on thickness, until pork reaches 145°F internal. If carrots are done early, pull them and keep warm.
Rest and slice. Rest pork 5–8 minutes, then slice. Spoon any pan juices over the slices.
Make the salad. Tear butter lettuce into bite-size pieces. Thinly slice cucumber; add tomatoes if using. Whisk 1 tbsp olive oil + vinegar + honey + Dijon (if using) + pepper. Toss gently right before serving.
Serve. Plate sliced teriyaki pork with roasted carrots and the crisp lettuce salad. Sprinkle sesame seeds over pork/carrots if you like.

Health notes: ~650–800 calories per serving. Balanced protein + veg; moderate sodium due to teriyaki—pairing with a simple salad helps. Add extra lettuce/cucumber for more volume and fiber.

Drink pairing: Wine: Washington Pinot Gris or Chardonnay (unoaked). Beer: a pale ale or Japanese-style lager.
