Ingredients
Pork Loin 3 lb pork loin roast boneless 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp salt ½ tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp smoked paprika Vegetables 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 lb brussel sprouts halved 2 medium sized sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1’’ pieces 1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp black pepper
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside. I recommend using a half sheet pan.
3
In a small bowl combine the seasonings for the pork; garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper and smoked paprika.
4
Rub the entire pork loin with spice mixture.
5
In a frying pan heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. When olive oil is hot place pork loin in pan and sear until all sides are browned; about 2-3 minutes per side.
6
Transfer pork loin to prepared baking sheet with the fat-layer up.
7
Place pork loin in preheated oven at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes.
8
While pork is cooking toss the vegetables along with olive oil and seasonings in a mixing bowl.
9
Pull pork loin out of oven after 25 minutes and add the vegetables all around it in one layer.
10
Place pork loin back in oven and cook 25-30 additional minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145 degrees F.
11
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and loosely cover with foil. Let rest 3 minutes.
12
Cut the pork in slices and serve with vegetables.
Notes
Make sure you cook the roast cap side up. ****** cover the pork with sliced apples, then use the apples + drippings in a savory applesauce ****** Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Make sure you are using a pork loin and not pork tenderloin. Pork Loin is a thicker and wider cut usually found with a fatty layer on top. Pork Tenderloin is a long, thinner piece of pork. For this pork loin roast we recommend cooking it to 145 degrees F. This is a perfectly safe temperature for this cut of meat. Here is a quick chart for reference on other cuts of pork and their recommended cooking temperature.
