Maple-Sage Pork & Sweet Potato Roast

Method

1. 1

   Prep the ingredients

   On a cutting board, pat the pork dry, cube the sweet potato, core and wedge the apples, cut the red cabbage into thin wedges, and chop the sage.
2. 2

   Start the vegetables

   Toss the sweet potato and red cabbage with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet, spread into a single layer, and roast in a 220°C oven; turn the vegetables once halfway through and season with 1/2 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

   18 min

   Tip: Give the vegetables room on the sheet for better browning.

3. 3

   Roast pork and apple

   Stir the maple syrup and sage together on the baking sheet, add the apple and pork, and turn the pork to coat it. Roast in the 220°C oven, turning the pork once midway.

   25 min

   Tip: If the pork is ready before the vegetables, transfer it to a plate to rest while the vegetables finish.

4. 4

   Rest the pork

   Move the pork to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest while the vegetables remain on the sheet.
