  Roast until the pork is cooked through and the sweet potatoes and pears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Check your "done" temperature inside the pork to ensure that it's cooked thoroughly. You may want to remove from the oven approximately 5 degrees prior to done reading. Let the pork rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the sweet potatoes and pears.
