Cooking Steps

Prep and cook sweet potatoes
1
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp oil. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with half the Caribbean Spice Blend, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 16-18 min, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden. (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the middle and bottom of the oven, switching baking sheet positions halfway through.)
Prep and cook pork
2
  • Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with remaining Caribbean Spice Blend, salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and pork. Pan-fry pork for 2-3 min per side, until golden. 
  • Transfer pork to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread jerk sauce over pork in an even layer, then roast in the middle of the oven for 7-10 min, until cooked through.**
