Method

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  3. Season with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread vegetables on a sheet pan.
  6. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
  7. Bake the sweet potatoes until fork tender.
  8. Remove the sweet potato flesh and add it to a mixing bowl.
  9. Add butter, maple syrup, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt.
  10. Mash or whip until smooth and fluffy.
  11. Season the pork tenderloins with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh rosemary.
  12. Heat an oven safe skillet over medium high heat.
  13. Add olive oil.
  14. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown.
  15. Transfer the skillet to a 400 degree oven.

Notes

• Reduce the glaze until glossy and lightly thickened instead of thin and watery.
• Rest the pork before slicing for better texture and moisture.
• Keep the maple whipped sweet potatoes balanced so they are rich but not dessert sweet.
• Cinnamon and nutmeg should support the sweet potatoes without overpowering them.
