Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place 1 lb pork tenderloin on a rimmed baking sheet and brush all over with half the honey-mustard glaze.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary if using.
  4. Step 4: Spread the sweet potatoes evenly around the pork on the baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 25-30 minutes, brushing the pork again with remaining glaze halfway through, until the pork registers 145°F internally and sweet potatoes are tender and browned.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve pork slices alongside the roasted sweet potatoes.
