Quick and delicious! I left out the pears & onions and didn't bother parboiling the sweet potatoes, but diced them fairly small to make sure they cooked quickly. I finished off the cooking by broiling it for 5 minutes to brown everything a bit. Turned out wonderfully. The herbs (I used dried rosemary) complement the meat nicely, though I left them off half the tenderloin that I served the kids since they're so picky.
