Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds boneless pork loin, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 lemon, zested and halved
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, or to taste
¼ cup olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
10 small red potatoes, quartered
8 carrots, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
2 onions, thickly sliced
¼ cup melted butter
5 stalks white asparagus, halved diagonally

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Cut slits 1/2 to 3/4 inches apart all over pork loin and push garlic into each slit. Sprinkle lemon zest, lemon juice, and rosemary over the pork. Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil over the pork. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Coat a roasting pan with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add potatoes, carrots, and onions. Drizzle melted butter over vegetables; stir until lightly coated.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until starting to soften, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Stir in asparagus. Place pork loin on top.
  • Return to oven and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pork reads at least 138 degrees F (59 degrees C), about 35 minutes.
  • Transfer pork to a cutting board and wrap with aluminum foil.
  • Continue roasting vegetables until tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Uncover pork and slice. Serve with roasted vegetables.

This pork loin was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few changes. First, I would use a higher quality cut of pork loin. Second, I would marinate the pork loin in the lemon garlic mixture for at least 24 hours before cooking. Finally,

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork loin turned out tough and chewy. I'm not sure what went wrong.
