Ingredients

• 1.5 pound pork loin roast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1.5 pound red potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard for the glaze. Set aside.
3. Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
4. In a large roasting pan or baking sheet, toss the red potatoes and Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange them in a single layer.
5. Place the seasoned pork loin on the same pan with the vegetables. Roast for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, brush the pork loin with half of the maple-Dijon glaze. Stir the vegetables. Return to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Brush the remaining glaze on the pork during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
7. Remove the pork from the oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted vegetables.

Notes

Resting the pork is crucial for juiciness! For easy cleanup, line your baking sheet with foil.
