Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary on a baking sheet. Spread evenly and roast for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 1.5 lb pork tenderloin with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar.
  5. Step 5: Pour the honey-garlic glaze over the pork in the skillet. Transfer skillet to the oven and roast pork for 15-18 minutes, basting with glaze halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. Step 6: Remove pork from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 tbsp chopped rosemary over roasted sweet potatoes and serve alongside sliced pork.
