    2 cups · about 12 ounces or medium

  • baby carrots

    2 cups · or 3/4 pound regular carrots, sliced

  • vegetable oil

    2 tablespoons · divided

  • pork loin

    1 1/4 pounds

  • brown sugar

    3 teaspoons · 1 Tablespoon

  • black pepper

    1/2 teaspoon

    1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash hands with soap and water.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 400 °F.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 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. 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. 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. 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. 9

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

Notes

  • Wash and cut potatoes and onion into chunks about the same size as baby carrots.
  • Use a meat thermometer. Cooked pork can be pink even when the meat has reached a safe temperature.
  • For safety and quality, allow meat to rest for at least three minutes before slicing.
