Total Time:
45m
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut lengthwise into wedges
- 2 firm red Bartlett pears, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 sprigs fresh thyme
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 piece pork tenderloin (1 1/4 pounds)
- 1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
- Heat oven to 425º F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes, pears, oil, thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wrap the pork in the prosciutto, slightly overlapping the slices to cover the pork completely.
- Push the vegetables to the edges of the baking sheet, place the pork in the center, and drizzle the pork with the honey. Roast until the pork is cooked through and the sweet potatoes and pears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the pork rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the sweet potatoes and pears.

Quick Tip
Pears are delicious when roasted, but ripe ones are too delicate to stand up to prolonged heat. For this recipe, firm, slightly
underripe fruit works best.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
