Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Halve, peel, and cut onion into 1-inch-thick wedges.
• Toss sweet potatoes, carrots, and onion on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide between two sheets; roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lime.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.
Swap in chicken for pork.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-low heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and tender, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in hoisin, chili sauce, ¼ cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings), 2½ TBSP sweet soy glaze (5 TBSP for 4), and juice from half the lime. (Be sure to measure the sweet soy glaze—we sent more!) • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork and sweet potato–carrot jumble between plates in separate sections. Spoon sauce over pork. Garnish sweet potato–carrot jumble with sesame seeds. Garnish everything with scallion greens and serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
Slice chicken crosswise.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
The sweet potato jumble is LIFE. Seriously. The way the sauce on the chicken accents the flavors of the sweet potatoes and carrots. I dream about this meal.
My husband and I both enjoyed this meal more than we thought. I liked the glaze. He really liked the carrots and sweet potatoes.
The taste didn't stand out with the sweet chili-lime glaze. Loved the sweet potato jumble though.
Used all of the Sweet Soy Glaze and added extra Sweet Thai Chili Sauce. Added Harissa to veggies.
Too hot in TX for the oven so I sauteed the onion, steamed the carrots, and mashed the sweet potatoes. Was wonderful even with my modifications.
Wonderful meal! The spicy tart sauce on the chicken was so delicious. And the blend of vegetables was an excellent side.
Enjoyed the vegetable medley. It's not an option I recall being offered before. The glaze had a hoisin sauce flavor. Nice dinner.
Great portions, loved how big the sweet potato was. Wish sweet potato was offered as a free sub for regular potatoes in other meals.
This was a delicious meal that hit on all points especially flavor combo and texture.
Great flavor and a simple recipe. Could have used some more onion in the veggie mix because the onion I got was small, easily the smallest red onion you've sent me in any meal yet.
