This was a quick healthy meal that was ready in about 40 minutes (including prep time)!





1 Tbsp flat leaf parsley, fresh, chopped

1 tsp lemon zest
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp EVOO
1/2 tsp table salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 pound(s) lean pork tenderloin (I used 3 round pork tenderloin slices)
1 large sweet potato(es), (10-ounce) peeled and cut crosswise into 8 slices
1 Tbsp water
1 medium apple(s), cut into 6 wedges
1 tsp packed brown sugar, dark
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon


Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Mix the parsley, lemon zest, garlic, oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper to a paste in a small bowl. Place the pork in the baking dish. Spread the parsley mixture evenly over the top of the pork and let stand 5–10 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the sweet potato slices and water in a small microwavable casserole dish. Cover and microwave on High for 3 minutes; drain.


Place the sweet potato slices and apple wedges around the pork. Lightly spray the sweet potato and apple with nonstick spray, then sprinkle with the sugar, cinnamon, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the pork registers 160°F for medium and the sweet potato and apple are tender, about 30 minutes. Cover the pork lightly with a foil tent and let stand 5 minutes.  Serve when ready.


Yields 3-4 pork slices, 4 sweet potato slices, and 3 apple wedges per serving. Weight Watcher Points - 10 per serving.
