Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub 1.5 lbs pork loin with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  2. Step 2: Toss 1 cup cubed carrots, 1 cup cubed parsnips, and 1 cup cubed beets with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.

  4. Step 4: Slice pork loin and arrange on a platter with roasted root vegetables. Drizzle with the apple cider glaze just before serving.
