Brown Sugar Garlic Pork with Carrots & Potatoes
Description
This recipe involves preparing a pork loin by trimming excess fat and coating it with a brown sugar, garlic, and oil rub. Meanwhile, carrots and potatoes are peeled or scrubbed, cut, then tossed with canola oil, salt, and black pepper. On a large foil-lined baking sheet, the vegetables are spread out with space left for the pork loin.
The dish is oven-roasted at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 150 degrees in the pork center. After cooking, the pork rests covered in foil for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute while the vegetables finish cooking in the still-hot oven.
This method produces tender pork with a sweet garlic crust and roasted vegetables complementing the meal. Using one pan simplifies preparation and cleanup, ensuring the vegetables are served hot alongside the rested pork.

- 2 lb pork loin , trimmed of excess fat
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar

- On one large cookie sheet, put down some foil and add the carrots and potatoes.
- Spread apart the vegetables to make an opening in the pan for the pork.
- Add the pork to the pan.
- Roast the pork and vegetables for 40-50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers at 150 degrees in the center of the roast.
- Open your oven and remove the pork onto a plate or cutting board to let it rest and cover it with a piece of foil.
- Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes, then remove the veggies from the oven once you are ready to serve the pork.
