Pork with Apples and Sweet Potatoes
Pork with Apples and Sweet Potatoes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp pepper
4 1/2 c cubed peeled sweet potatoes (1 1/2#)
4 tsp olive oil, divided
2 pork tenderloins (3/4 # each)
4 large granny smith apples peeled and cored
Note: I halved the meat and spices, but kept the full amount of sweet potatoes and apples.
1. In a small bowl, combine the salt, cinnamon, cardamom and pepper. Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tsp spice mixture and 3 tsp olive oil; toss to coat.
2. Spread a single layer in a 15x10x1 baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 425 for 10 minutes.
3. Rub the remaining oil over pork; rub with remaining spice mixture. Place over the sweet potatoes. Bake for 15 minutes.
4. Cut each apple into 8 wedges. Turn pork; arrange apples around meat. Bake 15 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
Yield: 6 servings

I love meals where I don't have to think of side dishes to complement it. This was a great pork dish. Perfect for the fall!
