Preparation
1
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle
positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven
to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
• Dice sweet potato into 1⁄2-inch pieces.
Halve, peel, and cut onion into 1⁄2-inch-thick
wedges. Remove and discard any large
stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces.
Strip rosemary leaves from stems; finely
chop leaves until you have 1⁄2 tsp (1 tsp for 4).
2
• Toss sweet potato and onion on one side
of a baking sheet with a large drizzle
of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings,
spread veggies out across entire sheet.)
TIP: For easy cleanup, line sheet with
aluminum foil first.
• Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add
the pork then).
3
• Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels;
season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over
medium-high heat. Add pork; cook, turning
occasionally, until browned, 4-8 minutes. Turn
off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Once veggies have roasted 10 minutes,
transfer pork to opposite side of sheet.
(For 4 servings, leave veggies roasting;
add pork to a second sheet and roast on
middle rack.)
• Roast until pork is cooked through and
veggies are tender, 10-12 minutes more. (TIP:
If pork is done first, remove from sheet and
continue roasting veggies.) Transfer pork to a
cutting board.
**Swap in chicken* or beef* for pork. Cook
chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes
per side (no need to roast!), or cook beef to
desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side (no
need to roast!).**
4
• While pork and veggies roast, heat a drizzle
of oil in a second large pan over medium
heat. Add kale, 2 TBSP water, and a
pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes. Turn
off heat (you’ll finish the kale in Step 6).
5
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over
medium-high heat. Add chopped rosemary
and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Reduce heat to medium; stir in jam, stock
concentrate, and 1⁄4 cup water (1/3 cup for
4 servings). Cook, stirring occasionally, until
thickened, 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter
(2 TBSP for 4) until combined. Season with
salt and pepper. TIP: If sauce seems too
thick, add a splash of water.
**Use pan used for chicken or beef here.**
6
• Transfer roasted sweet potato and onion to
pan with kale; toss to combine. Return
to medium heat until warmed through,
1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt
and pepper.
7
• Thinly slice pork crosswise.
• Divide veggies between plates; top with
pork. Spoon sauce over pork and serve.
**Thinly slice chicken crosswise or beef
against the grain.**
***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
