HEARTY ROASTED PORK LOIN & VEGETABLES RECIPE BY TASTY



Hearty Roasted Pork Loin & Vegetables Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: pork loin, olive oil, kosher salt, McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, brussels sprouts, butternut squash, large red onion

Provided by Gwenaelle Le Cochennec

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pork loin, 3 pound (1.3 kilograms)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons McCormick® Hearty Spice Blend, divided
3 cups brussels sprouts, (about 12 ounces) ends trimmed and halved lengthwise
3 cups butternut squash, (about 12 ounces-360 grams), cut into ½-inch (1.24 cm) pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1 in (2.54 cm) pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Using a sharp knife, score the fat cap of the pork loin in a crosshatch pattern. Do not cut through to the meat.
  • Using your hands, rub 2 tablespoon olive oil all over the pork. Liberally season all over with 1 tablespoon salt, plus more as needed. Rub 2 tablespoons of the McCormick® Savoury Spice Blend all over the pork.
  • Transfer the pork to a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes, until the fat is beginning to render and brown.
  • Meanwhile in a large bowl add the Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and red onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon McCormick® Savoury Spice Blend and toss to coat.
  • Remove the pork from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Evenly spread the vegetables on the baking sheet, turning the Brussels sprouts cut-side down. Clear a space in the center of the pan, then return the pork to the pan. It is okay if some of the vegetables are underneath the pork.
  • Return to the oven and cook for 35-50 minutes, depending on the size of the pork loin, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving the pork and serving with the vegetables.
