Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 3 minced garlic cloves to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin with paper towels. Season all sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Brush the maple glaze evenly over the pork.
  3. Step 3: In a large roasting pan, toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes and 1 large cored and cubed apple with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme.
  4. Step 4: Place the glazed pork tenderloin in the center of the roasting pan among the sweet potatoes and apples.
  5. Step 5: Roast everything for 25-30 minutes, brushing the pork with remaining glaze halfway through, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve pork slices alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and apples.
