Roast vegetables in oven, alongside pork tenderloins, 15 to 20 minutes or until thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 160 degrees and vegetables are tender.

Add remaining 3/4 cup broth and juices in dish to roasting pan. Place over range-top burner(s); simmer 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat or until juices are reduced to 3/4 cup, stirring frequently.

Carve tenderloin crosswise into 1/4-inch slices; arrange on serving platter. Spoon juices over tenderloin and vegetables.
