Cooking Steps
- If desired, peel sweet potatoes.
- Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add sweet potatoes and 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper and half the Zesty Garlic Blend, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 24-26 min.
- Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces. (TIP: We recommend using gloves when prepping hot peppers.)
- Thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green parts separate.
- Add peppers, zucchini and 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil to another unlined baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend, then toss to combine.
- Roast in the top of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender-crisp, 18-20 min.
- Meanwhile, combine mayo and sriracha in a small bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a thinner mayo, stir in water, 1 tsp at a time, to reach desired consistency.)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.) Transfer to a plate.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) oil, then pork. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Add soy sauce, ginger-garlic puree and green onion whites to the pan, then stir to combine. (TIP: Add a pinch or two of sugar, if desired!)
- Season with pepper, to taste.
- Remove from heat, then cover to keep warm.
- Divide sweet potatoes and veggies between bowls.
- Top with pork, then drizzle sriracha mayo over top.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onion greens over top.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The sesame pork with sriracha mayo delivers a satisfying balance of sweet, spicy, and savoury flavours. Sesame seeds and the layered seasoning were frequently highlighted as standout elements.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this recipe quick and straightforward to put together. Some noted the roasting steps added time, but overall prep was manageable.
- Suggestions: Reduce the roasting time for sweet potatoes and the zucchini-pepper mix, as several reviewers found the suggested times too long and resulted in mushy vegetables. To deepen the pork's flavour, consider adding oyster sauce, a touch of sugar, or sesame oil alongside the soy sauce and ginger-garlic puree. Some reviewers also found the zesty garlic blend overpowering and suggest using less to taste.
- Leftovers: Some reviewers noted the dish tasted even better the next day, with the spice developing further after a night in the fridge.
- Portions: Sweet potato portions were consistently flagged as too small, with many reviewers adding an extra potato or supplementing with rice or another grain to make the meal more filling.
- Customisation: An air fryer worked well for the roasted vegetables and cut down on cooking time. Some reviewers skipped or reduced the sriracha mayo to manage heat, while others swapped the hot pepper for a milder variety with good results.
