Cooking Steps
- Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges.
- Add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with pepper and half the garlic salt, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the top of the oven, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 22-24 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the top and bottom of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add walnuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on walnuts so they don't burn!)
- Remove from heat. Transfer walnuts to a plate.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Pat tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tenderloin. Sear until golden, 2-4 min per side.
- Remove from heat and transfer tenderloin to an unlined baking sheet.
- Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked to desired doneness, 5-8 min.**
- When done, transfer tenderloin to a cutting board to rest, 5 min. Loosely cover with foil.
- Meanwhile, trim and discard bottom 1 inch from asparagus.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt.
- Add asparagus. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min.
- Add half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat, then add half the Parmesan. Toss to combine.
- Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Meanwhile, finely chop parsley.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then remaining garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add cream, pesto and remaining Parmesan.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and Parmesan melts, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat, then stir in half the parsley and any tenderloin resting juices from the baking sheet.
- Thinly slice tenderloin.
- Divide tenderloin, sweet potatoes and asparagus between plates. Top asparagus with walnuts.
