Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup maple syrup with 1 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary to make the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Toss 2 cups peeled and cubed Michigan sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Step 3: Rub 1 lb pork tenderloin with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place it on the baking sheet with sweet potatoes.
  4. Step 4: Roast pork and sweet potatoes for 15 minutes, then brush pork evenly with half the maple glaze, turn sweet potatoes. Roast another 10-15 minutes until pork registers 145°F internally and sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Step 5: Brush pork with remaining glaze, let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the roasted sweet potatoes.
