This delectable glazed Pork Loin Roast with potatoes, carrots, and onions is a family-friendly, inexpensive meal with wholesome ingredients and great flavor. It is always a welcome meal, and I love to serve this for Sunday supper. With tons of flavor from the rub and the honey mustard glaze, this recipe is a little different than the typical loin roast with gravy made from pan drippings.
Why this recipe works!
- This is the best pork roast you will ever have. It cooks up so so flavorful and juicy. The spice rub is super flavor-packed, and the glaze helps lock in the flavor and keep the pork loin moist while the pork cooks. As pork can dry out easily if not cooked properly.
- Pork loin is an inexpensive cut of meat. Costo usually puts them on sale several times a year. I think I paid $1.72/lb. Not bad at all.
- This wholesome recipe is full of fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices. It is a meal you can really feel good about feeding your family.
What is the difference between a pork loin and a pork tenderloin?
Pork loin and pork tenderloin are different cuts of pork and are not cut from the same part of the pig. In fact, they look quite different, contain different amounts of fat, and for optimum flavor and tenderness, they should be cooked differently.
Pork Loin is from the pigβs back. It is a large cut of meat averaging around 3 lbs. with a thick cap of fat. This cut is best slow-roasted in the oven but not overcooked. They can be either bone-in or boneless.
Pork TenderloinΒ is a muscle that runs along the backbone. It averages a little over a pound with virtually no fat, although the silverskin should be trimmed before cooking. It is best seared over medium-high heat, marinated, and then grilled or used in stir-fries.
