Happy New Year!<\/p>\n

With the busy holiday season behind us, it\u2019s time to resume a regular routine for the new year. This includes planning healthy meals that are easy to make on busy weeknights.<\/p>\n

Try this easy and healthy sheet pan dinner to get a meal on the table quickly that your whole family will enjoy.<\/p>\n

Why use apples in savoury\u00a0dishes?<\/h2>\n

This dinner encompasses a variety of nutritional ingredients including local Gala apples. I choose Gala apples for this recipe because they\u2019re sweet, fragrant and crisp and you can find them at any time of the year. Gala apples hold their shape and keep their bright red skin colour and nutrition when cooked.<\/p>\n

We all know the classic pairing of apples with pork. It\u2019s classic because the bright acidity of cooked apples gives off a sweetness that touches the tongue and balances beautifully with savoury pork. It\u2019s such a delightful combination loved by many. Just think of that spit-roasted pig with a large red apple stuffed in its mouth – that\u2019s where it all began!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only a few minutes and ingredients are required to prep this entire dinner. Simply season all the main ingredients: whole pork tenderloin, sliced unpeeled apples and sweet potatoes with the Rosemary, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and pop in the oven.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the oven does its magic, mix up the two ingredient maple Dijon glaze. Brush the glaze on the partially cooked pork, apples and sweet potatoes and return them to the oven to roast a little longer. In a short while, you\u2019ll have an amazing dinner with a heavenly aroma that will have everyone running to the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two-ingredient maple Dijon glaze<\/h2>\n

Since pork tenderloin is very lean, brushing it with the incredibly flavourful two ingredient maple Dijon glaze while it roasts allows the pork to become golden and caramelized while remaining moist and tender on the inside.<\/p>\n

The caramelized maple Dijon glaze guarantees loads of sweet and savory flavour. It also makes a great dipping sauce on the side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t find plump pork tenderloin in the recommended weight, then use two smaller pork tenderloins, cut the apples and sweet potatoes a little smaller, and reduce the cooking time slightly.<\/p>\n

This Sheet Pan Maple Dijon Apples & Pork recipe is the cover feature in the October 2019 Horizon Food & Drink magazine.<\/p>\n

There couldn\u2019t be a better way to start your new year! This family-friendly meal with no mess and no stress is a lifesaver for any busy night. You\u2019ll want to put this sheet pan dinner on your meal plan over and over again.<\/p>\n
