  • 3.5 lb pork loin roast
  • 1 lb carrots
  • 2 lb potatoes
  • Extra carrots or parsnips
  • 1 onion
  • Herbs & garlic
  • Apple cider glaze
  • Dinner rolls, side

How to Make It

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Rub pork roast with herbs, garlic, and oil.
  2. Arrange carrots, potatoes, and onion around the roast in a large roasting pan.
  3. Roast 1 to 1.25 hours, brushing with apple cider glaze twice, until internal temperature hits 145°F.
  4. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  5. Serve sliced pork over the roasted vegetables with dinner rolls and salad.

No-Time-For-That Tip: Resting the roast lets the temperature climb a few more degrees and keeps the juices in the meat instead of on the cutting board.
