Nutrition
Rub the seasoning on the top and sides of the roast. Insert slices of garlic by making slits into the meat. Take the time and effort to brown the top of the roast to give it that extra crunch and flavour to the roast. Add enough water under the potatoes to avoid them drying out. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to add more than a cup.
Enjoy this Pork Loin Roast with roasted white potatoes and sweet potatoes. Other options you could consider are mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, broccoli or a green salad.
