Walnut-Crusted Pork Tenderloin
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 1 Tbsp. paprika
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. onion powder
- 1.5 Tbsp. mustard powder (I used regular mustard because I was out!)
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towel. Mix the dry ingredients together (except the walnuts) and then rub all over the tenderloin. Next, cover the pork with the chopped walnuts (save just a few of the walnuts). Lightly spray a baking pan with olive oil spray and then place the tenderloin in the center of the pan and roast for 30 to 35 minutes. All ovens vary, so just check the pork with a meat thermometer to ensure it’s done (145 degrees). Serving suggestions: serve a few slices over a bed of your favorite greens sprinkled with the remaining chopped walnuts. Drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette dressing & enjoy!
Maple Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 4 small sweet potatoes peeled & cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
- 2 small shallots diced
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl add the sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Mix to evenly coat the potatoes and arrange on a sheet tray. Roast until caramelized and soft, about 25 -35 minutes. Be sure to check them after 15 minutes and stir, if needed.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the sliced shallots and saute until they start to caramelize, about 5 minutes Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Lower heat to medium and cook until golden brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the pan becomes dry.
- Add the roasted sweet potato cubes to the caramelized shallots and transfer to a warm serving dish.
