Carrots: | |
2 pounds | baby carrots, peeled, trimmed, leaving 1/2 inch of green tops attached |
2 tablespoons | water |
1 tablespoon | extra-virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon | butter, diced |
2 | garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
1 small | jalapeño, (preferably red), seeded, coarsely chopped |
1 teaspoon | honey |
1/2 teaspoon | ancho chile powder* |
1/2 teaspoon | ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon | coarse kosher salt |
Pork: | |
2 1-to 1 1/4-pound | pork tenderloins |

2 teaspoons | ground cumin |
1 teaspoon | ancho chile powder |
1 teaspoon smoked paprika** | |

For carrots: Arrange carrots on large rimmed baking sheet. Whisk 2 tablespoons water and all remaining ingredients in small bowl; pour over carrots and toss to coat. Cover tightly with heavy-duty foil. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Toss to coat before continuing.
For pork: Preheat oven to 400°F. Roast carrot mixture covered until just tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, arrange pork tenderloins on another rimmed baking sheet. Stir oregano, cumin, chile powder, smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon coarse salt in small bowl; rub mixture all over tenderloins. Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Return to rimmed baking sheet.
Remove foil from carrots. Nestle pork among carrots on baking sheet, arranging carrots in single layer around pork. Roast uncovered until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 145°F, stirring carrots occasionally if beginning to caramelize, about 18 minutes. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
Transfer pork to work surface. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange carrots on platter. Top with pork slices, drizzling any pan juices over.
