Honey-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans

A honey glaze may sound like something that goes with dessert, but mild-tasting pork loves a sweet sauce too, especially one that has a few savory elements in it for contrast. In this recipe, you’ll be folding an extra-large drizzle of honey into a rich, savory pan sauce, then spooning it onto pork tenderloin (and the roasted sweet potatoes and green beans, if you like).

Step 1

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into ½-inch cubes. Toss on one half of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven until tender, 20-25 minutes total (we’ll check in after 10 minutes).

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Pat pork dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt and pepper. Cook in pan, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 6-8 minutes. While pork cooks, mince 1 clove garlic (use the other as you like). Strip 2 tsp thyme leaves from stems.

Step 3

After sweet potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove from oven and toss, keeping toward one side of sheet. Add green beans to other side and toss with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Return sheet to oven and roast until both veggies are tender, 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Once pork is browned, transfer to another baking sheet. Roast in oven to desired doneness, 8-12 minutes.

Step 5

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add garlic and thyme. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in stock concentrates, ¼ cup water, and honey. Scrape up any browned bits on bottom of pan. Simmer until reduced by half, 3-4 minutes. Add 1 TBSP butter and stir to melt. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If glaze seems stiff, stir in a splash or two of water.

Step 6

Let pork rest 2-3 minutes after removing from oven, then thinly slice. Divide green beans and sweet potatoes between plates, then top with pork. Drizzle with glaze and serve.
