Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (for glaze)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, chili flakes, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  3. Rub the marinade all over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork tenderloin and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. While the pork is roasting, whisk together the additional maple syrup and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
  7. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the maple-mustard glaze over the sliced pork and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip: For a delicious twist, serve this dish with roasted seasonal vegetables or a fresh salad to complement the rich flavors of the pork.

For the best results, let the pork tenderloin sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly. If you prefer a milder flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of chili flakes or replace them with a more subtle seasoning like smoked paprika.

To store leftovers, simply wrap the pork tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Place chicken thighs in a baking dish and coat with the tahini mixture, reserving some for basting.
  4. Arrange mixed vegetables around the chicken in the baking dish, drizzling with olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, basting the chicken with the reserved tahini glaze halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

To enhance the flavors, marinate the chicken in the tahini glaze for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you’re looking for alternatives, try using almond butter instead of tahini for a different twist.

For the vegetable medley, feel free to swap in seasonal veggies like asparagus or Brussels sprouts. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheats beautifully in the oven.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large cucumbers
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers. Slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.

  3. Spread a layer of the feta mixture onto each cucumber strip and roll them up tightly.

  5. For the yogurt dip, serve the remaining yogurt mixture in a small bowl alongside the roll-ups. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The cucumbers may soften over time, so it's best to consume them quickly.

For an extra kick, consider adding some chopped fresh herbs like dill or mint into the feta mixture. If you prefer a vegan version, swap the feta for a plant-based cheese alternative and use a vegan yogurt for the dip.

These roll-ups are best served fresh, but you can prep the cucumbers and dip a few hours in advance. Just assemble them right before serving to maintain their crispness!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon water (more if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potato rounds with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the spicy avocado drizzle. In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, lime juice, chili powder, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Once sweet potato bites are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  6. Drizzle the spicy avocado sauce over the sweet potato nacho bites, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: Adjust the spice level of the avocado drizzle by adding more or less chili powder to taste.

For extra crunch, consider adding shredded cheese on top of the sweet potato bites before baking. If you’re looking for a milder option, you can reduce the amount of chili in the avocado drizzle.

These nacho bites are best served fresh, but you can store leftover components separately in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, simply pop the sweet potato bites back in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

If you want to make the fritters ahead of time, you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before cooking. Serve the fritters with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick!
