Oven-Baked Pork Loin

Pork Loin + Sweet Potatoes

As we dive into week two of pork recipes for #NationalPorkMonth, we had to whip out a pork loin. When looking for recipes, my search words included easy and little prep — and this one definitely checks both boxes.

This simple roast pork and sweet potatoes recipe combines tender, juicy pork loin with the perfect balance of savory herbs and naturally sweet potatoes. It’s a cozy, no-fuss dinner that looks (and tastes) like you spent hours in the kitchen — but comes together with just a few basic steps.

Read below for instructions and inspo!

 

How to Make It

  1. Sear your pork loin on all sides until golden brown. This step locks in flavor and gives the roast that beautiful color you want.

  2. Add flavor. Arrange sweet potatoes, onions, and herbs in the pan — and don’t be shy with the seasoning. Salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic go a long way.

  3. Roast everything together in the oven until the pork reaches the perfect internal temperature and the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.

  4. Let it rest. Give your roast a few minutes before slicing so all those juices redistribute.

  5. Serve and enjoy. Slice the pork, spoon over the roasted sweet potatoes, and finish with any pan juices for an easy, flavorful dinner.

It’s the kind of meal that feels special enough for Sunday dinner, but simple enough for a weeknight.

Why Pork + Sweet Potatoes Just Works

  • Perfect flavor balance: The natural sweetness of the potatoes pairs beautifully with the savory, seasoned pork.

  • Easy one-pan cleanup: Everything roasts together, so less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying dinner.

  • Family-friendly: Mild, hearty flavors that everyone at the table can get behind.


A Few Tips

  • Sear first. Don’t skip this step — it builds flavor and texture.

  • Don’t overthink it. A drizzle of olive oil and a few herbs can go a long way.

  • Use what you have. Swap sweet potatoes for carrots, apples, or root veggies if you prefer.

  • Rest before slicing. This helps keep the pork juicy and tender.
