Ingredients

• 1.5 pound pork loin
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 3 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 pound baby potatoes (halved)
• 1 pound green beans (trimmed)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin.
3. On a large baking sheet, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them in a single layer.
4. Place the seasoned pork loin in the center of the baking sheet, amidst the potatoes. Roast for 20 minutes.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the trimmed green beans to the baking sheet, tossing them with some of the pan drippings and a dash of salt and pepper. Stir the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the pork loin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Remove pork loin from oven and let rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute. Serve the sliced pork loin with the roasted potatoes and green beans.

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the pork loin to keep it juicy. The resting time is crucial for tender meat.
