Southwestern Pork Cutlets
- 3 large sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 2 poblano chile peppers or green bell peppers, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Cooking spray

- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 1 1/2 pounds pork cutlets, about 1/4 inch thick
- Salsa verde and lime wedges, for serving (optional)
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Toss the sweet potatoes and peppers with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste on a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer.
- Bake on the lower oven rack until tender and charred in spots, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set a wire rack on another rimmed baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.
- Stir the mayonnaise, milk, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
- Place the panko in another large bowl.
- Add the pork to the mayonnaise mixture and turn to coat.
- One at a time, transfer each cutlet to the bowl of panko and turn to coat; arrange on the wire rack.
- Coat both sides of the cutlets generously with cooking spray.
- Bake the cutlets on the upper oven rack until golden brown and cooked through, 12 to 18 minutes.
- Serve the pork with the roasted vegetables, salsa verde and lime wedges.
