Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 1 lb pork tenderloin in the center of a large rimmed sheet pan. Arrange 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (1-inch pieces) around the pork. Brush the pork and sweet potatoes generously with half of the maple-Dijon mixture, reserving the rest for later.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove the pan and brush the pork and potatoes again with the remaining glaze. Sprinkle 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves over everything and return to the oven. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted sweet potatoes and pan juices drizzled on top.
