Whisk the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and thyme together to make the glaze.

Step 3
Toss the Brussels sprouts and garlic with 1 ¾ tbsp (25 ml) olive oil, ½ tsp (3 gr) salt, and ½ tsp (1 gr) black pepper. Carefully spread them cut-side down on the hot sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.

Season the pork tenderloin all over with ¾ tsp (5 gr) salt and ½ tsp (1 gr) black pepper.
