Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 minced garlic cloves to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Rub 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 medium cubed peeled sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme. Spread on one side of the baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Roast pork and sweet potatoes for 15 minutes, then brush the pork tenderloin evenly with half the honey-mustard glaze.
  5. Step 5: Add 12 oz trimmed green beans tossed with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the baking sheet. Roast everything for an additional 15 minutes until pork reaches 145°F internal temperature and vegetables are tender.
  6. Step 6: Remove pork from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted sweet potatoes and green beans.
