Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 3 minced garlic cloves to create the citrus glaze.
  2. Step 2: Place 1 lb pork tenderloin in the center of a large sheet pan. Toss 2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary. Spread the sweet potatoes around the pork.
  3. Step 3: Brush the pork tenderloin all over with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with additional salt and pepper as desired. Pour half of the citrus glaze over the pork and sweet potatoes.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then brush the pork and sweet potatoes with the remaining glaze. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve sliced pork with the roasted sweet potatoes and pan juices.
