Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Baby 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', '2 1-to 1 1/4-pound pork tenderloins', '2 teaspoons dried oregano', '2 teaspoons ground cumin', '1 teaspoon ancho chile powder', '1 teaspoon smoked paprika**', '1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt', '1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil']
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.
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.
