TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 55 min. + standing
MAKES: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
• 2 medium apples
• 1 medium orange
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Peel sweet potatoes; core apples. Cut potatoes, apples and orange crosswise into 1/4-in.-thick slices. Arrange on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, mix orange juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and ginger. Microwave, covered, on high for 1-2 minutes or until thickened, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
3. Place pork over sweet potato mixture; drizzle with orange juice mixture. Roast 45-55 minutes longer or until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145° and sweet potatoes and apples are tender. Remove from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 6 servings.
