Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • instant read thermometer

Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups brussels sprouts cleaned, slice the large ones in half.
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 ¼ pound pork tenderloin

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Peel the potatoes and dice into 1 inch dice. Clean the brussels sprouts, remove any brown leave and slice off the tip. For larger ones, slice them in half. Add the vegetables to a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan melt the butter and mix together the spices. Pour the butter over the vegetables and add half the spice mix. Stir to combine.
  • Spread the vegetables onto a rimmed baking sheet in one even layer. Place in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the tenderloin with the remaining spice mix. Set aside.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the vegetables from the oven and spread them to the edges. Place pork in the middle and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and check the temperature with an instant read thermometer. The pork is done when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes, slice pork and serve!

Notes

Expert Tip: Don't overcook the pork! Use an instant read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is 145 degrees and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Preheat the oven well, 15-20 minutes. Oftentimes when your preheat alarm goes off the oven still hasn't reached the desired temperature.
  • Lining the sheet pan with foil or parchment paper makes for easy cleanup.
  • Lay the sliced Brussels sprouts cut side down for maximum caramelization!
