Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 3 minced garlic cloves until smooth and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Place 1.5 pounds pork loin on a large rimmed sheet pan. Brush the maple-mustard glaze evenly over the pork, coating all sides.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, toss 3 peeled and chunked carrots, 2 peeled parsnips cut into 1-inch chunks, and 1 small red onion cut into wedges with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until well coated.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the vegetables evenly around the pork on the sheet pan. Roast everything for 35-40 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve slices alongside the roasted root vegetables.
