Ingredients

  • 3  Ontario Parsnips
  • 2  Ontario Carrots
  • 3  small Ontario Beets, cut into 6 wedges each
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) each olive oil and fennel seeds
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1  boneless Ontario Pork Loin Centre Roast (about 750 g)
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) grainy mustard
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario Honey
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh Ontario Rosemary Leaves

Instructions

Cut parsnips and carrots into quarters lengthwise; cut crosswise into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces. In large bowl, combine parsnips, carrots, beets, oil, fennel seeds and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in single layer on parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast in 425°F (220°C) oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, season pork all over with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste; pressing to coat. In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; brown pork for about 12 minutes, turning, until deep golden on all sides. Transfer to plate and brush all over with mustard.

Remove vegetables from oven, flip over; nestle pork in centre. Drizzle honey and sprinkle rosemary over vegetables and pork. Roast for about 20 to 25 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted sideways in centre of pork reads 160°F (71°C) and vegetables are tender and golden.

Transfer pork to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut across grain into thin slices; serve with vegetables.
