microwavable sweet potatoes $1.50

low fat butter substitute

salt

brown sugar

cinnamon and sweetener

soy sauce

sesame oil

 

 

Cut away any fat.

Roll each tenderloin in brown sugar.

Sprinkle lightly with salt.

 

Place the tenderloins in a hot non-stick pan.

Brown each side until there is a sear all the way around.

 



 

Coat an oven safe baking dish with Pam.

Place the tenderloins in the dish.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

 

 

Reduce the heat to medium.

Add a tablespoon of low fat butter substitute, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil into the pan.

Deglaze the cooked bits at the bottom of the pan and stir for a few minutes to incorporate. Pour the sauce over the tenderloins.

 

Microwave the sweet potatoes

according to the directions on the packaging.

 

Carefully unwrap the potatoes.

They will be very hot.

Lightly coat the potatoes in "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter".

Place the potatoes in an oven safe dish.

Sprinkle all the way around each potato with salt and sweetener. 

 

 

Place the tenderloins and potatoes

into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

 

Let everything rest

while you make a fresh garden salad

or cooked vegatable

to accompany the dinner.

 

Slice and serve one tenderloin.

Pour sauce into a serving container.

Serve the baked sweet potato

with a touch of butter substitute

and cinnamon and sweetener.

YUM!

 

The leftover tenderloin is great served cold on a sandwich or it reheats well. The second tenderloin can be wrapped in foil and placed in a freezer bag to be reheated and served later.

 

Just FYI:

Tenderloin is 130 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving

Sweet potato is 180 calories and no fat.

 

Make dinner for now and for later

with little effort but terrific flavor.

Enjoy!
