Roast Pork with Sweet Potato and Salad

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel and chop 2 sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper on a baking sheet.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear pork for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 4

Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Rest pork for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

Mash roasted sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Step 6

In a bowl, toss 4 cups mixed greens with thinly sliced red onion, remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 7

Slice pork and serve over sweet potato puree with salad on the side.
