Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In the same bowl, mix 4 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp chopped rosemary, 2 tsp chopped thyme, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest. Rub this herb mixture all over 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin.
  3. Step 3: Place pork tenderloin in the center of the baking sheet on top of sweet potatoes. Roast for 25-30 minutes until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, tent pork loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve pork slices with roasted sweet potatoes.
