Savory Pork Loin with Garlic Honey Glaze

 

Savory Pork Loin Roast

Ingredients:

 

3 lb. Pork Loin Roast

1 lb. Brussels sprouts, halved

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks

2-3 tbsp. olive oil

Spice Rub

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. crushed rosemary

Honey Glaze

4 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup honey

3 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

1 tbsp. olive oil

 

Directions: 

• Preheat oven to 375˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside. Pat dry pork loin with paper towels.
• In a small mixing bowl combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Rub pork with a little olive oil and then rub the spice mix all over the pork.
• Heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the pork loin until browned on all sides; about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork loin to baking sheet, fat-layer side up; set aside.
• In a bowl, combine garlic, honey, soy sauce, mustard and oil; whisk until well combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the sauce to use for the vegetables.
• Brush remaining honey mixture over the pork loin. Roast for 25 minutes.
• Toss the vegetables with a tablespoon of olive oil and the reserved honey mixture. Pull pork roast out of the oven and add the vegetables all around it in one layer.
• Tent a piece of foil over the pork so the top doesn't get too crispy. Put back in the oven and continue to cook for 25 to 30 more minutes, or until internal temperature of the pork loin reaches 145˚F. Toss vegetables half way through cooking.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Cut the pork in slices and serve with veggies.

SIDE NOTE:  make extra honey garlic glaze to add to meat when serving.
