Savory Pork Tenderloin and Rosemary Sweet Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine basil, oregano, marjoram, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Crush the herbs with the tips of your fingers until finely crushed and blended. Salt and pepper pork to your own family's taste.

Step 3

Rub herb mixture all over pork. Place in center of baking sheet and set aside.

Step 4

For the sweet potatoes, combine olive oil, honey, rosemary, and salt in a bowl large enough to hold potatoes. Microwave on high for 30 seconds or until heated. Stir and blend well.

Step 5

Add the potatoes and toss to coat.

Step 6

Place potatoes on the baking sheet around the prepared pork.

Step 7

Roast for 10 minutes at Reduce heat to 375 and continue to roast until the center of meat reaches 155 degrees, approximately 15 more minutes. Remove ONLY THE PORK from the oven and place on a plate and cover tightly with additional foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Stir the potatoes and continue baking until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes, while the pork rests.

Step 8

For the apples: While pork is baking, core apples. I leave the peel on, but if you prefer, feel free to peel them. Slice into 1/2" slices. Toss with a little bit of lemon juice. Set aside.

Step 9

Bring water, sugar, corn syrup, and remaining lemon juice to a boil in a large skillet. Boil for 5 minutes to reduce the simple syrup by half.

Step 10

Add the apple slices. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes, turning once after 4 minutes. Serve with pork.
