PORK LOIN ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Take the roast out of the fridge and place the fat side up on a platter or parchment-lined work surface to come to room temperature.
• While the roast is coming to temperature, preheat the oven to 450°F.
• In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and paprika; mix to combine and set aside.
• When the roast has reached room temperature, score the skin and fat ¼-inch deep in a cross-hatch pattern at 1-inch intervals. This will allow the seasoning flavor to soak in while roasting.
• Generously season the pork with salt and pepper.
• Place your roast into a 5-quart or larger baking dish. Gently rub the herb mixture all over your pork loin. Cover the roast with a sheet of aluminum foil. Roast for an initial 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, prep and slice your carrots, celery, and potatoes, and place them in a bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• After the initial 20 minutes of roasting, lower the oven temperature to 350°F and remove the pork from the oven.
• Uncover and add the vegetables in the dish around the pork roast. Add an additional 1 tablespoon of olive oil sprinkled on top of the vegetables and pork.
• Continue to roast uncovered at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the pork roast registers an internal temp of 145°F and vegetables are tender. Use an instant read meat thermometer to check for doneness.
• Remove from the oven and re-cover with a piece of foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Remove pork roast from the baking dish and transfer to a cutting board; slice and serve with the vegetables.
