Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to make a glaze.
  2. Step 2: Season 1 lb pork tenderloin with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and brush all over with half the maple-mustard glaze.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, toss 2 medium sweet potatoes and 1 large chopped apple with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread around the pork on the baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Roast pork and vegetables for 25 minutes, then brush pork again with remaining glaze. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until pork registers 145°F internally and vegetables are tender.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, let pork rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve with roasted sweet potatoes and apples.
