Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Caramelized Onions

Ingredients:

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
3. Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
4. In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Place the pork tenderloin on the same baking sheet with the sweet potatoes. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
6. Serve the pork tenderloin sliced over the roasted sweet potatoes and caramelized onions.
