  • 6 Servings
  • $6.00 - $8.99

Ingredients

  • 2 cups onions, cut in wedges
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 pounds pork loin
  • 3 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps

1

Wash hands with soap and water.

2

Preheat oven to 400 °F.

3

In a bowl mix veggies with 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper.

4

Lay veggies around the edge of a 9x13 inch pan and put in oven.

5

Use a small bowl to make the rub. Mix the brown sugar, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in the bowl.

6

Sprinkle the rub over the loin. Press gently so the rub sticks to the roast. Wash your hands after handling the raw meat.

7

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the loin. Brown the sides of meat. Turn after about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

8

Transfer the pork to the center of the pan with veggies. Bake for about 40 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 145 °F. Check the temperature after 30 minutes in the oven.

9

Remove from oven. Let set for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.

10

Wash and cut potatoes and onion into chunks about the same size as baby carrots.

11

Use a meat thermometer. Cooked pork can be pink even when the meat has reached a safe temperature.

12

For safety and quality, allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before slicing.
