Ingredients

• 3 lbs Pork loin roast
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 4 Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 Parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 Red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix to form a paste.

Step 3

Rub the seasoning paste evenly over the surface of the pork loin roast.

Step 4

In a large roasting pan, toss the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Spread the vegetables evenly around the pan, leaving room in the center for the pork.

Step 5

Place the seasoned pork loin in the center of the roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth into the pan around the vegetables to keep them moist during roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Every 20 minutes, baste the pork roast with the pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful. Give the vegetables a quick toss to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Once the pork reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the slices of pork loin alongside the roasted root vegetables, drizzled with the pan juices for extra flavor. Enjoy!
