Oven-Roasted Mustard-Maple Pork Tenderloin with Winter Root Roast + Apple-Celery Crunch

Lean pork tenderloin gets a quick mustard-maple glaze (sweet, tangy, and very weeknight-friendly) while winter roots roast up caramelized. A bright apple-celery crunch on the side makes it feel like a bistro plate without the effort.

Ingredients

  • Boneless Pork Tenderloin (1 lb) 1 lb (about 1 tenderloin) $3.99 sale (reg $5.99)
  • Butternut Squash 12 oz (about 3 cups 1-inch cubes) $1.49/lb sale (reg $1.79/lb)
  • Simple Truth Organic Whole Carrots (16 oz) 8 oz (about 2 medium carrots), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces $1.50 sale (reg $1.79)
  • Jumbo Sweet Onions 8 oz (about 1 small onion), cut into 1-inch wedges $1.49/lb sale (reg $1.99/lb)
  • Large Granny Smith Apple - Each 1 apple, cored and thin-sliced $1.99/lb sale (reg $3.29/lb)
  • Simple Truth Organic Celery Hearts (1 lb) 2 ribs celery, thin-sliced $2.99 sale (reg $4.99)
  • Garlic (1 ct) 2 cloves, minced $0.60 sale (reg $0.69)
  • Dijon mustard 1 1/2 Tbsp
  • Maple syrup 1 Tbsp
  • Apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp
  • Olive oil 2 Tbsp, divided
  • Salt + black pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika 1/2 tsp
  • Dried thyme (or fresh if you have) 1/2 tsp

Instructions

  1. Prep and heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.
  2. Prep the roast veg: cut butternut squash into 1-inch cubes (about 12 oz). Peel and cut carrots into 1-inch pieces (about 8 oz). Cut sweet onion into 1-inch wedges (about 8 oz).
  3. Season veg on the sheet pan: toss squash, carrots, and onion with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme. Spread into an even layer.
  4. Roast veg for 20 minutes at 425°F, stirring once halfway.
  5. Make the glaze while veg roasts: in a small bowl mix 1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon, 1 Tbsp maple syrup, 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  6. Sear the pork on the stove: pat the 1 lb pork tenderloin dry, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear tenderloin 2–3 minutes per side (about 8–10 minutes total) until nicely browned.
  7. Glaze + finish in oven: pull the sheet pan out after the first 20 minutes. Push veggies to the sides, place seared pork in the center, and brush with all the glaze. Roast 12–18 minutes more, until pork reaches 145°F in the thickest part.
  8. Rest and make the crunchy salad: rest pork 5–10 minutes. Toss 1 thin-sliced Granny Smith apple + 2 thin-sliced celery ribs with a pinch of salt, 1 tsp vinegar (from your pantry), and 1 tsp olive oil (optional).
  9. Slice and serve: slice pork into medallions. Plate with roasted squash/carrots/onion and the apple-celery crunch. Spoon any pan juices over the pork.

Health notes: ~650–800 calories per serving (depends on oil amount). Healthiness: High protein, lots of fiber/micronutrients from roots + apple; keep glaze to 1 Tbsp maple per person and go lighter on oil for a leaner plate.

Drink pairing: Wine: go for a medium-bodied red with bright acidity or an aromatic white that can handle mustard and a touch of sweetness. Great picks are Pinot Noir (Oregon/Willamette or Burgundy Bourgogne Rouge) or dry-ish Riesling (Finger Lakes). Local-ish: Boordy Vineyards (MD) makes a solid Pinot Noir/Charm City Red-style blend that works here.

Stovetop Ginger-Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry with Cabbage & Snow Peas

Fast, super-satisfying stir-fry vibes using winter/early-spring produce: juicy chicken breast, crisp-sweet cabbage, and snap peas with a gingery-garlicky sauce. Serve it over quick rice or noodles from the pantry for a full meal.

Ingredients

  • Harris Teeter Hand Trimmed Boneless Chicken Breast (1 lb) 1 lb, sliced thin $4.99 sale (reg $5.99)
  • Green Cabbage 10–12 oz, thin-sliced (about 4 packed cups) $0.99/lb sale (reg $1.29/lb)
  • Harris Teeter Farmers Market™ Ready Veggies Snow Peas (8 oz) 8 oz, strings removed if needed $3.79
  • Green Onions 2, sliced (whites + greens separated) $1.79
  • Garlic (1 ct) 2 cloves, minced $0.60 sale (reg $0.69)
  • Ginger root 1 Tbsp finely grated (or minced)
  • Soy sauce 3 Tbsp
  • Rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) 1 Tbsp
  • Honey or sugar 1–2 tsp
  • Sesame oil (optional) 1 tsp
  • Cornstarch (optional but helpful) 1 tsp
  • Neutral oil (canola/avocado) 2 Tbsp, divided
  • Cooked rice or noodles (pantry) About 3 cups cooked rice OR 6 oz noodles, cooked

Instructions

  1. Prep the base: cook rice or noodles per package (you’ll want about 3 cups cooked rice or 6 oz cooked noodles for 2 servings).
  2. Prep chicken and veg: slice 1 lb chicken breast thin. Thin-slice 10–12 oz cabbage. Slice 2 green onions, keeping whites separate from greens. Mince 2 garlic cloves and grate 1 Tbsp ginger. Prep 8 oz snow peas (trim ends/remove strings if tough).
  3. Mix the sauce: whisk 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp rice vinegar, 1–2 tsp honey/sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch (optional), and 1 tsp sesame oil (optional) with 2 Tbsp water.
  4. Sear chicken: heat 1 Tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet/wok over medium-high. Add sliced chicken and stir-fry 4–6 minutes until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  5. Stir-fry aromatics + cabbage: add 1 Tbsp neutral oil to the skillet. Add green onion whites, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 Tbsp grated ginger; cook 30 seconds. Add thin-sliced cabbage (10–12 oz) and stir-fry 3–4 minutes until starting to soften but still a bit crisp.
  6. Add snow peas: add 8 oz snow peas and stir-fry 2 minutes.
  7. Sauce + finish: return chicken to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss 1–2 minutes until glossy and lightly thickened.
  8. Serve: spoon over cooked rice/noodles and top with green onion greens.

Health notes: ~550–750 calories per serving depending on rice/noodle portion and sauce sweetness. Healthiness: High protein, high veg volume, good fiber; keep sugar/honey modest and go easy on oil for a lighter plate.

Drink pairing: Wine: choose something aromatic and high-acid to play with ginger/garlic and a salty-sweet sauce—dry Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Local-ish: Boordy Vineyards (MD) makes bright whites that work well (look for Sauvignon Blanc-style bottlings).

  3. Prep asparagus: toss 1 lb trimmed asparagus with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Grill asparagus: grill asparagus 5–8 minutes total, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp with char marks. Move to a platter.
  5. Grill salmon: place salmon skin-side down (if skin-on) and grill 4–6 minutes. Carefully flip (or keep skin-side down the whole time if you prefer) and grill 2–4 minutes more, to 125°F for medium or 130–135°F for medium-well.
  6. Make the salad: toss 1 sliced English cucumber + 1 chopped large tomato with 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp lemon juice (from your lemon if needed), 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp oregano or 1 Tbsp chopped parsley (optional).

Health notes: ~600–850 calories per serving depending on salmon portion and oil. Healthiness: Excellent omega-3s and protein; lots of veg; keep added oil moderate for a lighter meal.

Drink pairing: Wine: salmon loves Pinot Noir, but the citrus + gentle heat also sings with dry rosé or a zippy Sauvignon Blanc. Local-ish: Boordy Vineyards (MD) has approachable rosé/bright whites that pair beautifully with grilled fish and citrus.
