Pork Roast

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°. If desired, tie pork with kitchen twine. Rub pork with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear pork until browned on all sides, 7-9 minutes. Place in a large roasting pan; top pork with garlic slices. Cover and place in oven. Meanwhile, combine squash, apples, dried cranberries, brown sugar, remaining olive oil and if desired minced fresh rosemary and thyme; toss to coat.
    2. Remove pork from oven after 30 minutes; add squash mixture to roasting pan. Return pork to oven; roast, uncovered for 40-50 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let pork stand 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle pork with pan juices after slicing. Serve with roasted squash mixture. If desired, top with additional fresh rosemary and thyme.
